This is exactly my view point. The previous Diamond Citaros on it were 40 seats and 28 standees, they were upgraded to bendies because of capacity, which is still an issue at peak times. The new Versa are 44 seats and 23 standees. And in an age of increasing bus usage with the encouragement of ditching the car - yup, it is a backwards step. The long chassis length with the front to rear axle distance isn't great for its turning circle either. Wish I was a fly on the bus wall.
