  I think it could carry about 150 pax when packed like sardines. Ever heard of people trying to squeeze into a MINI? How about squeezing people into a bendy and see how much it could really pack? I'd say about 200. Whaddya think?

  When the box bendies came out it was mentioned "147 pax" but as the subsequent newer buses came out they reduced it to "132 pax".

  Hehe.....that is "theoretical model", assuming each standee got access to one stanchion pole/handstrap/handle. However, when buses get packed like that on svc 852 lance, it can easily exceed 80pax when the limit is 78pax!
  
  Bendy wise, i experience >150pax squeezing into a bendy daily on svc 806. It takes 3-5mins to unload the pax! The weight is so high that u can actually feel the inertia of the bus.

  Try 6 mins for a 806 bendy in the evening with one entrance, and the queue stretch all the way to near the 811 / 854 berth!
