Is there a good reson(whether structural, social, legal reason ) why the 3 seats are never on the left?
@ Foreman,
Also please note that most well done roads are done at an angle
@Foreman & Bwenyenye
If you fix the three seats on the left, you will lose a seat or two to allow passage for riders going to the right. Ie., Most buses have the entrance and exit doors on the left. The isle is usually immediately after the two sets of seats. Add another row of seats on the left and the distance between the door and the isle increases twice for exit and entrance taking space previously occupied by some seats although the length of the isle remains the same.
The driver also sees the back of the bus better when the isle is on the third row as it matches the back reflector better.
Road angle? Na! However, note, many city buses lean on the left side. Is it because of passengers hanging on the door? But nowadays passengers travel sitted.
Now, think of how far the bus leans when dropping off passengers at a stage which has a lower altitude than the tarmac. Add potholes on the stage where all the left side wheels suspension are subjected to torture and you understand the leaning phenomena.
