Streetlite: 11.50
Citaro: 11.90

After discussion previously about the saloon of a Streetlite being narrower than the Solar, I worked out it was 2.2% narrower. Visually I can sense it is a smaller width just by looking (and trying to avoid contact) at peoples ar$e cheeks hanging off the edge when walking down the vehicle to get off.
Have a nice sized backside (cute according to Mrs C), so I tend not to have that problem. My shoulders however... Lost count how many times they have been caught or bashed by passing passengers when sitting on a Streetlite.
Assuming all of the calculations and measurements are correct, the difference in width between the Streetlite and Citaro, is almost 4%.
It may not affect capacity like the length does, but it may affect passenger comfort.
