SMRT continues with experimenting with seating arrangement.
SMB1346D has a modified seating arragement like SMB1341U but with
more seats removed. Seating arragement turns out to be worst, I
doubt that it can even fit more standees.
Why not just remove 2 seats just before the standee area, can
fit more standees instead of trying to have standees standing in
weird areas of the bus.
I don't know if the platform can be remove, but I think it's
time that the layout for low floor to be changed(worldwide).
I personally believe that having the standee area opposite the
door is good, but it should be bigger than the exit door. Which
means to say the foldable seats will be shifted forward by 1(and
remove 1 pair), and the front facing seat before the face-to-face
seats remove(1 pair). I think passengers will have chances to move
to the rear.
As for the rear, they can widen the walking space by removing
some "platforms"(and of cus the seats, making it single
seater.
Well many of us sure complain about lesser seats, but that's the
solution. Like I've said, there's no point going full WAB fleet
just to cater the needs of PIW given that people complain about the
no. of seats. Sounds bad but it's either they put 80% WAB, 20%
non-WAB to at least keep the mouth zip or fully WAB.
