The coach buses are for people who book on AF/KLM website.
If anyone is interested the buses have 'flight numbers' too. AF311, AF313, and KL300.

Almost certainly the low end of that. There are 3 AF flights a day, hence the 3 buses... there is also one KLM flight which departs within a 1/2 hour of one of the AF flights, so they probably double up on a bus.
AF runs 2x772 and 1x343, KLM runs 1x300 for a total of 1133 seats per day. 10% of that is 113/3 or 38 people per bus. I'm not sure what one bus would hold (50-60 maybe?)... but I have a hard time picturing it stuffed to the max.
Has anybody been on one and could comment on the bus "load factor" ???
