On most routes RPU only operate in 2's, have never saw any more but at commuter locations more are needed because of the passenger volume and quick exits at stops.
Jamie, on several occasions (morning and evening) I've seen 15/20 (RPU and their side kick paramilitary) at Hazelhatch Station and never catch anyone as most people have Annual or Leap tickets. A ticket collector is far more effective certainly on a commuter train.
