The "Vehicle count modifier" slider should control number of vehicles, not the budget level.

In this example, I can move the slider from 100% to 5% and still have one vehicle. No change.
Then sliding all the way to 434% and I still have only one vehicle. At 436% I finally get a second vehicle.

It's silly moving the slider increasing the cost without actually getting any more vehicles on the route.

Instead of a slider, it should be a counter that increments/decrements one at a time, adjusting the actual number of vehicles on the route each time. The corresponding increase in budget can then be shown adjacent to it.

Crude mock up:

% Shows budget % relative to default
₡ nnn where "nnn" is a number, the actual total cost for the route

Change number of vehicles with the up/down arrows.

The info box should also include a min and a max number of vehicles for the route, so you can know what your options are. A "suspend route" option would also be nice, for those situations where you want to keep the line set up, but don't want it running all the time (for the sports/concert DLC, for example).
