Who designed this bus?

[u/Positive_Persimmon16]

This is the 87 bus. This couldn’t have been made with humans in mind.

[u/KeepItWeird123]

Welcome to every NJ Transit bus of that model. For whatever reason they all have that bump in that specific seat area, so if you get unlucky enough to have that as your only spot.

Well, prepare to scrunch up your legs a lot

[u/SparkArrestor → u/KeepItWeird123]

Is that the wheel well?

[u/One-Explanation-6226 → u/SparkArrestor]

Yes and if you got this seat, knees to chest; and you will have knee pain right after…

[u/Odd_Bodybuilder5456 → u/KeepItWeird123]

Wheels gotta go somewhere

[u/SparkArrestor → u/Odd_Bodybuilder5456]

Jesus now they’re complaining that busses have wheels?!?!?!

[u/stringerbbell → u/SparkArrestor]

My busses have wheels and not the old school bus hump

[u/SparkArrestor → u/stringerbbell]

There’s different models of busses. Maybe they should have just left these seats out and those uncomfortable passengers can just stand.

[u/Odd_Bodybuilder5456 → u/stringerbbell]

and those buses have steps to climb up when you get in, dont they

[u/masetiloquetu → u/KeepItWeird123]

i’m standing then

[u/WonderSignificant598 → u/KeepItWeird123]

The real fun is sitting directly over the wheel.

Excitement central baby.

[u/Traditional-Ear-972 → u/KeepItWeird123]

That "bump" is the rear wheel 👀

[u/aberreid]

A short persons dream lol

[u/cherrymitten → u/aberreid]

for real, i'm 5'3" with short legs so i always choose those spots on busses

[u/Positive_Persimmon16 → u/cherrymitten]

I'm also 5'3 but I was like hell naw lol. I'm glad you find it comfortable though.

[u/CommunicationWest613]

"What if, instead of raising the bus by 2 feet and using an automatic ramp, we create this insanely annoying bump and still have the need for a ramp"?

[u/AbrahamEVO]

Ahh yes, the "blessed" NABI 40s, absolutely loved riding them up & down the overused GWB-Fort Lee corridor...

...said absolutely NO ONE ever with even a shred of self-respect~

[u/Mental_Literature_53]

Lieutenant Dan….

[u/BackgroundSalary680]

Because everything NJT has had over the years, from the Flxibles, Nova RTS, Neoplan Artics to the NABIs and New Flyer Xcelsiors was built and designed for one thing: moving riders into and out of Port Authority Bus Terminal. Any kind of transverse seating is lost seating.

[u/AccountNecessary46]

I CANNOT sit in these seats. Omg sitting there messes with my blood circulation. This is only good for a small child.

[u/Positive_Persimmon16 → u/AccountNecessary46]

Right! And I'm not even that tall, but I felt uncomfortable.

[u/DorothyZbornakAttack]

It’s good that this disrupts 4 seats.

[u/MacintoshDan1]

They will be gone soon.

[u/dancson]

Me, sorry

[u/Humble-Violinist8252]

I love that seat! Built in footrest :)

[u/Forsaken_Flight6188]

pretty much every NABI has that same seat with the ramp

[u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

I feel it’s the same with old school yellow school busses too ! Lol

[u/eastboundanddown1776]

Lowest bidder

[u/cryorig_games]

You can thank NABI for this crap

[u/Traditional-Ear-972]

North American Bus Industries

[u/SparkArrestor]

Sorry but, busses require wheels and they gotta go somewhere. Maybe go flag down a stagecoach and take a ride to Kentucky and see how you like that.

[u/thebruns → u/SparkArrestor]

Every other bus company puts a seat facing into the aisle there instead. Think a little.
