What's with the NICE bus OrionVII seating?
Posted by DaRidgewoodBusBuff on Mon Jul 16 20:11:45 2012 edf40wrjww2msgDetailB:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d When I did a trip to Roosevelt Field over a week ago, I got one of thos OrionVII NGs with the curved sitting. I had to stand for a bit and couldn't take the entire hour ride seating down. I got 1750 going to RF on the N22A and 1737 on the N22 going back to Jamaica. Whoever thought the curved bumpy seats were a good idea needs a kick in the ass. Coming home on an empty 4126 (after 10:00PM) on the Q54 was much more confortable. Why is the seating so different on NYCT NGs compared to NICE Bus NGs? -------------------------------------------------- 7/6/12 Q54- OrionVII NG Hybrid #3975 N22A- OrionVII NG CNG #1759 N22- OrionVII NG CNG #1737 Q54- OrionVII NG Hybrid #4126

I sat in a forward-facing seat on the right, midway to the center door. Each time the driver braked, I went sliding into the seat in front of me!
