At this point in time, the number of busses would be roughly calculated using time to complete the route, time to load the shuttle, capacity of the shuttle, size of loading zone, etc. You want to be efficient as possible. Having a line of shuttles around the corner waiting to get into the loading zone or, conversely, having people waiting too long aren't ideal situations. Remember, it's at least 5 years away. They'll start with a system based on the calculations, then tweak (add/remove) with experience...
