I wish all buses could have the fabric seats like in the ex demonstrator EcoCitys 4812/4813.
The real leather seats in Omnicity's 4660/1/2/4 are very slippy especially if you sit on a sloping seat when it goes down hills you slide forward.
Can't understand that one, either! I've used both, and they're exactly the same...
The EcoCitys may be slightly more worn than the Pulsars on the 7 (with them being older), but that's about it...
Agree about the seating on 4812/13 though - far superior to any other seating on buses in the North East in my opinion. Closely followed by the seating on GNE's Merc Citaros.
