Greetings to all
Interesting discussion about seaiting
PAT returned to long seating on several orders of New Look busses iinthe
1960's
It did improve passenger flow in the aisles. But we found that many
passengers
liked the long seat based on passenger interviews.
Why:? Because older passengers, heavy set passengees.
passengers with kids or shopping bags could more easily sit there
The single forward facing seat was not without disadvantages.
There are many points of view. Did some older PRC yellow cars
have long seats before the PCC?
As a rider, I found different advantages in each.
