Traveling by Bus? Seat Smarts

• The back row does not recline, and if you plan to read while traveling at night, the front seats do not have working overhead lights.

• If you like to get up and down a lot, you might want to choose an aisle seat to avoid bothering any passenger that might sit next to you. If you don't like to get up and down a lot, you might prefer a window seat to avoid being bothered.

• In my experience, if you want to get two seats all to yourself so you can really stretch out, sitting on the aisle seat seems to discourage others from squeezing into the window seat next to you (unless the bus fills up and they have no other options).

• Remember that in coaches equipped with lavatories, the bathrooms can sometimes get, well, rank! - and getting stuck sitting near them can be unpleasant, to say the least.
