Was that due to a restriction, or was it that they just tried to use them only during peak periods and you didn't notice the exceptions?

Some routes are also not cleared to be done by double deckers (the 299 for instance, I believe).

Why is that? Clearance issues?

Generally, OC Transpo doesn't have any hard restrictions on what bus can run which route because with the fleet we have they have no reason to, but that doesn't mean they couldn't if they had to.

My reference was the hybrids. They should have been restricted to local routes, but OC Transpo wasn't able to keep them off of the other routes where they weren't very efficient.
