Not really though to me. Although they seats are thin, but I
find them nice and comfortable at least with slightly wider design
for our bums. Rather, it brings Berlin's A39 feel with the
ergonomically curvy seat design which looked better than the
Volgelsitze seats. Thicker & softer sponge for our bums, like
the VSO, will be the best on this NewCity seats... 
I agree with that. At first I felt that the cushions were kinda
thin, but it proved to be quite comfortable after seating on it for
quite awhile. Also I find the seats gave me a little more personal
space as they are wider compared to those Volgelsitze 750.
Hopefully the facelifted front design with the DRLs make it to
the production batch, together with Ster seats, Aesys EDS and ZF
gearbox. Lastly, I also hope that the overall bodywork quality
would be further improved. I took SBS7777Y recently and it was
rattling all over a stretch of bumpy road where a typical B9TL
Wright would do fine. The ADLs may be creaky on the inside, but
they seem to be quite fine as a whole unlike the older Gemilang
bodied buses.
