This suggests that the figures have been loaded to make a stronger case
for eliminating Routemasters. Their official maximum capacity gave all but
5 people a seat - and you could fit well over 5 standing downstairs if the
conductor failed to prevent it.

But much of the time they *did* prevent it, and even if they didn't it
was uncomfortable to stand anywhere other than right in the way on the
platform because the ceiling was too low.

While the bendies might be crush-loaded, at least you don't see them
sailing past you due to being "full" as often as the RMs did.
