I took Euro IV Batch 2 yesterday (SBS 8208 S on 51), I really do feel that 2 PIW bays is too wasting of space, as a lot of elderly were inside the bus yesterday, some are even standing as they dun want (or maybe got difficulty) to move to the rear to sit, so basically there's only 5 green seats (4 if it's Batch 1) for their convenient. So I would be expecting the 1st PIW bay to be replaced by 2X2 seats in Euro V bah, with the 2nd PIW bay still remain as standing bay. This is what I presume only, actually design not for my comment.
I also just notice that when pressed on the PIW alighting bell (blue button), another warning sound, accompanied by the usual 'ding dong', will alert the BC.
Cheers.

+1!!!
1 PIW bay is enough. I prefer the PIW bay furthest to the exit be converted to 2X2 seats.
I would also like the 4 seats opposite the PIW bay to be rotated to 2X2 seats.

I remember the Scania have 4 yellow seats on the low floor portion of the bus, 2 above the right front wheel hub that isnt very accessible to the elderly.
Got 5 green seats?
I also hope to see fully SLF buses from front to rear of the bus (e.g. Citaros) being brought in. The steps to the rear of the bus is annoying.

Its actually considered 1 seat for 1 person and not for 2 people.
The 4 seats opposite the PIW bay & the one behind the driver is considered a 'green seat' for him even though its yellow.

So, how do 2 PIW friends take the same bus together with just 1 wheelchair bay? :lol:
