Is there a reason buses cannot be branded like this again?. Why do all the branding have to match ?

Branding like 966 Airport Link A2 is done letter by letter as us hard to be removed


While branding on enviro like 51 is just blue tape and easy to be removed.

I think it looked alright, Why all buses are branded the same I dont know, I prefer diffrent routes to recive diffrent brandings not just a diffrent colour an route number
