Wow, those seats look rock-hard. Not something that will please
the passengers (or me, for that matter).
I can sort of understand why they don't want so many seats though.
I suppose the average number of passengers on these buses would be
rather high given their short length, and therefore provision of
standing capacity takes precedence over seating room. Still, my
point about lack of staunchion still applies, and even more so,
given the number of standees that will probably use these
buses.
