Abstract: A double deck bus has a wide front entrance door and two rear exit doors, one from each deck. The upper deck is at selected standing headroom height from the lower deck, and at selected sitting headroom height from the vehicle roof. A channel passageway with selected standing headroom is provided lengthwise of the upper deck. A curved front stairway leads from the front entrance door to the front end of the upper deck passageway, and a descending stairway leads from the rear end of said passageway to one of the rear exit doors. The fare box is located within the curve of the front stairway to be visible to the driver, whose seat is well above the lower deck. An engine compartment is provided at the rear end of the bus, and a wall separates it from the lower deck passenger compartment.

Abstract: A wall-mounted, side facing seat for a transit vehicle comprises a cantilever mounted support frame consisting of a pair of end members with marginal flanges, and a stretcher interconnecting the lower portions of the free ends of the frame end members. A seat insert formed of sheet material with integral end portions and conforming marginal flanges fits between the frame end members and is supported by the frame. Angle channel members receive and retain conforming flange portions of the frame and insert, while an insert back portion slopes downwardly and rearwardly from the upper edge of an insert back portion to the vehicle wall to provide clearance from, and access to, a vehicle window in back of the seat.
