You have to squirm a bit after a while as it can get a little uncomfortable, but I find that's the same with most bus seating types, especially after getting used to a car.
I find you can usually ignore the rattles, and the main problem for me (which it is in all Streetlites), is the LED lighting sometimes fading a little but then coming back, rather than being a consistent brightness. I think that the audio announcements paired with the noise of other passengers helps get rid of some of the rattles.
Perfect from a customer point of view in my opinion. Nice and warm, with all the added on-board features.
From what i've used of the C&C route, i can say i really like them, the seats can get uncomfortable after a while.
However as we know, every bus has good & bad points, there isn't a perfect bus out in the market and there never will be....
