Comfortable Bus Seats Make Travel Life Good! Photo: S.Peters Now, we have comfortable buses in Taiwan. I would like to describe to you how comfortable they are.   Keng Sheng Chang from Taiwan The bus is a usable form of transportation all over the world because we can easily take it to go everywhere. Also, we do not need to worry about danger on a long distance trip. Now, we have comfortable buses in Taiwan. I would like to describe to you how comfortable they are. First, the number of seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 seats to 19 seats. The reason why the number of seats is curtailed to 19 is because the seats have been changed to big and comfortable sofas.   Photo: Keng Sheng Chang Customers wanted more comfort, so the company changed the seats to big and comfortable sofas. Originally, they just changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took off ten seats on the bus. However, every customer wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when they took long distances trips by bus, so they changed them to sofas. Also, the bus manager wanted to get more profits, so they changed the airplane seats to sofas, and the number of the seats become 19. The new buses are popping up, but the prices are going up too. The owners have many ideas, which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendees who serve water, snacks, newspapers, and towels. Also, you can change the direction of the sofas so that you can feel comfortable, and they have a service bell on each sofa. Moreover, some companies play some videos on the bus. In addition, when you take a long distance trip—from Taipei to Kasheng, for example—they present luxurious buses that have an LCD on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus—they also they have three different channels, video channels, and seventy TV games for killing time when you ride the bus. In short, Taiwanese want to be more comfortable when they are on a trip so that explains why we have sofas on the buses. This phenomena is growing briskly. Maybe we will have beds on the buses in the future. More on life issues: Looking at Life Through the Eyes of Children Why Does a Celebrity's Life Fascinate Us?
