I have ridden buses, and they have the forward-facing seats that current airliners have. Which works on long bus rides about the same it does on airlines (but more comfortably because the real estate is less valuable on a bus). So, I don't follow your comment as being a counter to my points above if that's what you meant.Maybe you meant to ask instead if I've ridden subway cars, where the seating is more comparable to the arrangement in this article. I rode those plenty when commuting in and around Boston for college for 4 years. The big difference there is that the subway trip would typically last 45 minutes, and that included two line switches (with attendant walking between lines) and waiting on the platform for the next train.But, I confess that I'm not sure I caught your meaning. Have I lucked into responding to it (even if you still disagree with me, if you do actually have a disagreement)?
