The seats of those SBS
Transit Volvo MKII and MKIII buses, their earlier single-deck
Walter-Alexander-bodied buses, as well as those SMRT Nissans (and
some of the seats on their bendy buses) always give me trouble with
their tiny legroom for my long legs. The Walter-Alexander-bodied
MKIIs and the seats behind the rear wheel of the Nissans are the
worst - I think even children may have trouble with them. I really
don't understand why then-TIBS didn't use the old seat
configurations found on those older Nissans (the non-air
conditioned ones and the older converted air conditioned buses
without E.D.S.es) - they have a bench seat over that
wheel, instead of trying to squeeze a forward-facing seat
with such a high step.
As for those with wide legrooms, I have to say all versions of the
MK4 buses score the best, especially those with TV Mobile
installed. The seats behind the second TV Mobile screen
(immediately behind the exit door) is so generous I could even
cross my legs over there and still have room to spare! I have
nicknamed them "The Lounge Seats", as I always love to grab those
seats, cross my legs, and just enjoy the view from the window
(those Strider- and DM3500-bodied versions have especially wide
windows), watch TV Mobile, or just read something to lounge around.
It's almost luxury
.
A feature of the N 113 Scanias. The only Single Deck bus that
has this feature and is still in use in SBST fleet.
