Firstly, I never mentioned which layout for which type of
buses.
Mind the words I've used...There's seats
behind. The space would most likely be empty. They move to
the rear because of that. At this point, you might not see the
purpose.
But comes to when the bus is crowded. Look at our A22/Citaro,
there's always plenty of empty space there. These space, including
the layout #1(Citaro one), can allow ppl to slip tru to the rear
easily? Even if it's occupied, there's still a chance to go tru
them. It simply enlarge the walking space(as seen now).
Put to DD application, I've realize it works well too.
Passengers boarding the bus can simply squeeze tru to the rear
instead of queuing up for the stairs.
Why is there a need to assume when it's prohibited? Passengers
at the front would walk pass the first stairs, to the 2nd just
because of the door and incoming pax from lower deck. Do you think
it will be a smooth pace? I'm sure many lazy ones will use the
first stairs more if they are sitted at the front, resulting in
delay in alighting if failed to come down all the way.
Ok I see your point on the space. Thanks for clarifying.
Regarding the stairs, are you sure ppl would walk past, instead
of gg up the first stairs they encounter? Esp since making the
second stairs alight-only since its connected to the rear door,
which I've alr suggested it to be exit-only countless times alr? So
you mean people will willingly take the stairs behind to swim
against the tide?
For those on upper deck. Since they should only alight behind,
will they rather go down and squeeze with the lower-deck crowd, or
walk to the back via the standee-free upper deck, and alight
seamlessly from the back stairway?
Maybe you should try thinking about the human mindset more in
depth. It's quite interesting to do so actually...
