The new bus is smaller compared with the pervious bus that has a seating capacity of 47. The new buses have a seating capacity of 41. To cover for the lost sesting of 28seating over the hour require a frequency change to carry to cover the loss seating. The second problem the new bus has no air conditioning compared with the older buses. Since the affects of climate change high temperatures could be a risk to passengers on the bus because the more windows including the roof with extra light and heat will be transfered into the bus.
I somewhat agree with you, although I think the Eclipses (the predecessors to the new buses) only have a seating capacity of 45 not 47. But to lose 20 seats across the whole fleet is still not ideal. Personally, I'm most familiar with the Indigo and i4 routes (both of which use the same type of vehicle shown in this video). The i4 especially does not cope well at all with peak time journeys. It's not uncommon to see a bus at full standing capacity. I think it will be less of an issue with The Villager (from my limited experience), though I am concerned about capacity issues with the new H1 vehicles. With regards to the skylights, I think they're a nice touch for the average day. But in extreme conditions (i.e., very hot or very cold), they can be unpleasant. On cold days, condensation can form on the skylights, causing water to drip onto the seats below. On hot days, the glass just amplifies the heat. I once caught the Indigo in 40°C conditions and that was horrible.
