They are a little fun the first time. But then the novelty wears off and they kinda suck because of the lack of leg room and people trying to squeeze past your knees. Generally I try to avoid them, especially if there’s someone already in the seat across the walkway.
Comment on I couldn't have articulated better

Anyone else enjoy sitting in the seat in the middle of the joined section and feeling like you’re swiveling back and forth constantly? Just me?

As a kid I always wanted to have one foot in the middle section and one foot in the front or back and try not to fall over :)

I did, when I was a kid. Then they got rid of the bendy-buses :(

They have seats in the middle in Budapest. At least 20 years ago they did. Also the same in Zion Park as of last year. I always love riding there.

Wow, I always thought the bendy section would be a walkway.

It is usually? Never been on a bus with a seat there.

I don’t know at all, but it just seems safer to not have a seat there
yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 15 hours ago
Shouldn’t be dangerous, but there’s already less space in that area so it would constrict the walkway unnecessarily.
Like, looking it up, there seem to be variants wirh seats there but look how little space you have to move if two people are sitting there:

I don’t see the benefit of having an extra two seats in there compared to just putting in nothing

Depends on the bus.
