I'm comparing the functionality of the space; not the high versus low-floor. I'm not 100% convinced that the buses are even as wide, on the inside, as they used to be. I never recall sticking out in the aisle as much, with 2 people side by side, as you do with the new buses. I'm 5'8" 160 lbs, very average. 32" waist, medium size, and I just don't fit in those narrow seats!But you can't compare with an all high-floor GM bus. The era of high floor buses and LRVs are over due to modern accessibility requirements. The only fair comparisons is between different designs of low-floor buses and LRVs (unless we build high platforms, but that's not likely to happen), and I'll take a partial low-floor over a full low-floor any day of the week.
There must be someone who can design a better layout!
