It needs a handful of extra unbranded spare vehicles across a fleet, which
was obviously considered and costed when the first few companies began to

increased visual recognition of the buses and routes, not just among
passengers but among potential passengers, including those who don't
realise they're potential passengers yet.

I can't imagine too many people see a bus and think "Ooh, nice branding, I
must travel on it sometime!". Though I will grant you if its one of the ones
that has the route map down the side there may be some people who didn't
realise where it went and may use it in future.

Coming back on topic, that's why I want every bridge on the NLL to have
one livery, every bridge on the Goblin to have a different one etc, so
that people who drive every day from Leytonstone to Crouch End would
realise that there is one train all the way.
