So is replacing windows. The economics are not as clear-cut as the
operators might like to believe.

If the rate of window scratching were as much as one window per bus per
day, preventing it would probably pay for an extra employee shift per
bus per day.

Wasn't there an attempt on some London public transport operator to use
stick-on transparent plastic to protect the window surfaces, which was
cheap and relatively easy to replace (avoiding replacement of the whole
window) if etched?
