According to the BBC, the changes have huge positive upsides: "The Glider buses can carry around 30% more passengers than a double decker bus, and has space for wheelchairs and luggage. The vehicles also use a tap and go payment system to speed up boarding and have three sets of double doors which Mr Rotheram said helps people get on and off the service "much more quickly"."
