Ok. I shall just say out the points what SMB128B and the others
had said.
1. In Carbikebus's post (the starting post), he said that low
floor buses had less standing areas than low entry buses, but in
CNG's post, he claimed that standing rooms is more important than
seating rooms, which means he should support low entry buses, but
instead he supported low floor buses (though he was countering
SMB128B's post), which is already a wrong justification.
2. In SMB128B's post (posted 21st May 2012, 1.43pm) he said that
people with leg injuries/diseases are unable to come down from the
back row of seats, while in CNG's post, he said that those people
will likely sit close to the front of the bus and alert the driver
to assist them alight, so he think the back row of seats should be
no problem. But the problem is, there's a great difference in
distance from the driver's seat to the back row of the bus. How is
the passenger with the symptoms stated above going to alert the
driver at the back row if he/she cannot come down?
3. According to SBS3688Y's post, many people had been getting
used to the LE buses and thus it might reduce the risk of falling
down. If it is really the case, why is the grabpoles there? It
served as a side need for people who can't go up the stairs
properly. Even if CNG's post mentioned there will be a high
platform, but I doubt many people can adjust to the low floor buses
which was just massively introduced last year.
I just really hope this post will justify my points and others
to make the ones who support the low floor buses to understand the
main problems.
Other than the point on standing room which LE buses are more
advantageous at (and which Powered_By_CNG did not seem to have
phrased his reasoning very well), you don't seem to understand
point 2 and I'm totally clueless what your point 3 was entirely
about.
For point 2, Powered_By_CNG was merely saying that for
passengers with disabilities or are less mobile, they would choose
to sit at the yellow priority seats located at the front part of
the Citaros (or any other LF bus) and the rear seats should not
pose a problem to them, something like the LE buses. There is no
disadvantage accrued to LF buses in this aspect.
