I never understood this, I wouldn't think they'd have much lower cost of operation, maintenance and depreciation should be basically the same, operator is the same, maybe it uses a little less fuel, and less land to store.
I'm not sure what the benefit is, since there's also a significant logistics cost of managing multiple sizes of bus.
They also have a smaller turning radius.
