If the seats had padding to them, they'd probably be near the top!I've never had a bad experience of a Citaro, and I've been on have been well padded I find the seats extremely comfortable. Streetlites imo they're hit and miss the Saltwell Park ones are absolutely awful its like sitting on rocks, however 8342 there are 4 seats which were repadded and they're unbelievable comfortable. Versas have nice seats., pretty comfy but everything else about them are awful. Solos are pretty comfy too except the Old Optare Solos they used to have (699/700 etc). E200 I like. StreetLite leathers one are quite hard.
Preferred single decker for me would probably be the E200s, as long as it's not a short journey as the seats are too soft.
Second choice would be one of the upgraded Streetlites, Third would be a Versa (they've grown on me), Fourth would be the Yutongs (they feel too cheap, and they feel top heavy), then the B7s. Those seats are not far off the Citaros in uncomfortableness
As for deckers G2's are normally a lot more comfy than a lot of the streetdecks, except the newer ones.
