SMRT MAN A22 - Suggestions for the seating configuration
-
B
A
Any comments? -
Not too bad, I think configuration A is better, reminiscent of the N113CRB's rear seating arragement as well as one of the configurations for the Citaro. Seating capacity is also maximized.
For me I will stick to the original Lion's City configuration (remove 2 seats before standing area).
-
Some feedbacks given :
> 1 would still prefer the current design(SMB1341U/SMB1361-1371) style.
> 1 commented that the seats after rear wheels have slope, might be uneven. I think his uneven refers to the base to area for the legs.
I suggested(base on the 2nd pointer) :
> Have a low platform to fit the seats, and within the seats area(below)

Current configuration is best because BIS suggest~ Kiddos suggest layout like creepy Scania~
-
I like configuration A. The conf B back-facing seats like Citaro are never used and go waste.

I prefer B. Because I hated sitting facing the back [ Like what Bus Analyzer said ].
Also, are you going to feedback to SMRT about the seating config?
Would be awesome if they did change the seating arrangements
Also, the headrest for the 2nd-last seat is placed a bit too high
SMRT does things too "Over/Under". Headrests on TIB860S is too "Under". Headrests on MAN A22/A24s are too "Over".
-
Yah 2656X, the head rest is too high on a22 but they can replace it by a longer pad. Saw a few kids seating but cant reach the head rest.
-
Actually the headrest on MAN was alright for my height haha
And yeah, I did feedback to them already.
After observation on the MAN ride today, I realised that picture A(second one) isn't able to be carried out due to the random platform on the last seat(below headrest). Overall, I still think that they should add a slope platform to the walking area, passengers will be able to move easily without the current side platform(where seats are placed) affecting their legs.

Tell them to extend the headrest to the seat

You must be quite tall haha. For me I must sit real straight, I think if I take MAN A22 everyday, my posture must be perfect already.

That one must see loh ahha~
Anyway, another way for having more space would be to follow plan A(pic2). But instead of putting on the right>, probably they can switch over AND the left side return to original.

If the goal is to have more seats:
Just get a proper LE/LF bus and install seats on platforms, results in many seats, and only 1 or 2 pair of rear facing seats. For example the MAN's Lion's city ü.
Note that all the seats are on raised platforms. (This is the low floor version)Another image:
The interior could look like this, the seats at the sides are on raised platforms (but this is the low entry version, almost the same)If the goal is to create more standee spaces:
Use a LF bus and leave the seats at the rear alone, while changing the front the to the config of high capacity box bendies (i.e. 1 seat on each side), or similar to kub to have parallel seats facing each other.
The bus companies have to know their goals well, and not just make a half-half version of each which fails both purposes.

Safe for WAB area to be besides the door meh?

What would be your concerns with regards to safety?
Nonetheless the bus is being used in europe and didnt run into problems with their regulations.
-
Yup..

Because I felt that the passengers might not be aware that he's standing too close to the door where the door sensor might detect him? :o Or even so, at least that area should have a side bar like our O405s do.

B better

Ya at least have the headrest plus A not really gd seating positiion.
