Except for extreme exceptions, we don't separate freight and crew.

We do seperate freight and passenger transport. Crew is a different
matter.

Not in all cases. Especially not in applications where there's a limited
number of vehicles or trips already.

Consider the C-5, in addition to cargo can carry 73 passengers.

It's still possible to rent passenger space on some cargo ships, especially
if one really wants to take their time.

Pretty much any shuttle flight has needed the crew to go with the cargo.

That's because the shuttle was there, not because it was or is the best
way of doing things. If that were so, Progress and ATV would not exist.

And yet, Progress can't carry the payload up or down the shuttle can.
