I'm not really sure they actually do. Since we haven't heard about anymore buses having cheap plastic seats put in them I hope they have gotten enough negative feedback on it. I think they did on twitter and Facebook when they mentioned it as a test as well.
Who cares about what other places do, we don't need cheap plastic seats.
I agree with @Coolibop that we really have more important fish to fry and, from my experience, plastic seats IF PROPERLY DESIGNED can be perfectly comfortable.
And you really think that's possible? Plastic seats are gross they get sticky in the warmer months, they get sticky if someone spills something on it. They are total crap and don't belong on public transit at all. There is no such thing as a properly designed plastic transit seat they are all awful.
... and, obviously, fabric covered seats are able to magically repel liquids and avoid getting sticky and are easier to clean!
Thanks at least I'm not the only one who thinks that.
Also a great way to push the "transit is for poor people" mindset I see in a lot of people
Exactly which is why US transit looks so awful they don't care about the people who ride it so it just adds to the mentality that people have that public transit is for people who can't afford a car or are poor.
I think you missed the relevant part about them being comfortable.
Why would anyone think plastic seats are comfortable?
Compared with the older Pulse buses (which use the same model of seat, but with padding and fabric) they are not as comfortable. It does feel like a bit of a downgrade with the unpadded vinyl seats.
