The great majority of the operating cost of a bus route is paying the driver, so smaller buses don't really save you all that much.

Ultimately, the desire to FORCE people into a bus by denying them direct access to a more desirable transit system (i.e. A TRAIN, whether its Skytrain or WCE) is nothing more than social engineering at its finest.
