Unfortunately, there is no single standard for numbering seats on buses. Based on a survey of Novosibirsk carriers, it turned out that 6 different ways numbering of seats in the cabin. Even the same carrier may have buses with different numbering systems. Below are numbering examples that we found on the Internet and combined into a single drawing.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that different brands and models of buses have different seating arrangements and in most cases it is impossible to predict in advance which bus will go on a trip. According to the agreement with the bus station, the carrier is obliged to put on a flight a bus of a certain capacity and type (for example, 42 soft seats). But the bus model becomes known only shortly before departure. Thus, even having the correct seat maps in hand, it is impossible to indicate the desired one, since the make and model of the bus are not known in advance.
After comprehensively analyzing the task, we came to the conclusion that we are not able to implement it with a satisfactory result. We know that on some competitor sites, the seat map is indicated. We also know that this led to scandals, since the information provided turned out to be unreliable.
Bus tours are very popular today, and more and more people prefer the romance of traveling in comfortable ADS (long-distance buses) to air travel. This type of transport has a number of features, compared with the usual city buses and fixed-route taxis. First of all, tourist buses are equipped with comfortable soft seats with armrests. In addition, the ADS has the ability to carry oversized cargo, for this there are special compartments under the floor and shelves located in the cabin. There are also buses that have chemical toilets, water dispensers, refrigerators and more.
All these factors must be taken into account if you are planning a long bus trip. And of course, you need to choose the optimal and safest location in the ADS, especially considering that the seat is “assigned” to the passenger until the end of the trip and cannot be changed. Based on this, it will be useful to know the location of the seats on the bus, the scheme of which may differ. And think about it: it might be worth asking if there are empty seats on a long-distance train so that the trip brings only positive emotions.
Location of seats on buses
In the bus fleets of travel companies, you can find a huge number of a wide variety of regular buses that differ in modification. A single numbering of seats in a long-distance bus, the scheme of which would be the only one, has not yet been invented, and today different carriers have the right to equip ADS at their discretion. Moreover, even buses of the same brand, same year of manufacture and upholstery color can have a different number of seats. Therefore, to the question “How many seats are on the bus?” can only be answered approximately.
For example, if we take a MAN tourist bus, the layout of seats in it can differ significantly. In a typical model, there will be 59 of them, with the numbering starting from the first right seat. And if you go to MAN Lion's Coach R 08, designed for 49 passengers, the first place will be in the second row on the right. The front two seats will be numbered 46 and 47. As you can see, even where you sit depends on the brand of ADS.
The same applies to other brands of buses. For example, in a small typical Mercedes 22360C there are 20 seats, while they are numbered generally chaotically, namely: two seats located next to the driver have numbers 19 and 20, 1 and 2 seats are located behind the bus driver, and then the numbering of seats on the bus goes to the right- left. But, if you transfer to a Mercedes-Benz 0303, designed for 45 passengers, then the seats will be numbered from left to right.
As you can see, the layout of seats in long-distance buses may differ depending on the ADS model. But, this is not the only nuance, the carrier can also make design changes by adding office space, dry closet and more. In this case, the scheme will again undergo changes.
Therefore, before buying a ticket, it will not be superfluous to check with a particular carrier the location of the seats.
Let us give as an example several seating arrangements for the most commonly used buses in Russia.
The presented schemes are taken from the website of the State Unitary Enterprise SO "Sverdlovsk Regional Association of Passenger Vehicles". On the same site you can find diagrams of other buses.
But in addition to your convenience, you must also take into account safety, the choice of the right place also depends on this parameter.
Where is the safest place to sit on a long-distance bus?
Since the news reports are full of news about accidents involving tour buses, you should carefully choose the area in which you plan to sit.
In order to choose the safest seats on a long-distance bus, the following recommendations should be considered:
- As with driving a car, the seat immediately behind the driver's seat is considered the safest. This is due to the fact that in an unforeseen situation, the driver on a subconscious level tries to evade danger in order to protect his life. Accordingly, "under attack" most often falls on the opposite side vehicle.
- Best Places in the long-distance bus are located in the center of the cabin. In the event of a frontal collision or impact that could hit the back of the bus, this is the area that will remain the most undamaged.
- Having learned from the carrier how the seats are located on the bus, try to give preference to the seats installed on the right side of the passenger compartment (near the aisle).
This is with regard to the preferred zones in the vehicle. But, recommendations about the most dangerous chairs will be no less useful.
Where is the best place to take the bus?
There are places in the ADS that experienced tourists prefer to refuse, namely:
- Last seats. A lot of burning accumulates in this area, and after a few hours of driving like this, you risk getting exhaust poisoning. In addition, in the back of the bus, the motion sickness is stronger, and with sudden braking, the ADS can fly out into the aisle.
- First row (next to the door or driver). In a head-on collision, this area suffers most often, so even despite good visibility, it is better to refuse such an arrangement.
When communicating with a travel agent, check for non-reclining seats. Decent carriers prefer not to sell tickets for such seats at all, using them for other purposes, but there are those who will not miss the profit. Usually such places are located at the end of the ADF, as well as in front of the exit in the middle of the cabin.
Consider the time of the year in which you plan your tourist trip. In winter, it is better not to sit down immediately after the exit, so as not to suffer from cold air currents. And if you prefer to get off first at stops to drink hot tea, then it's better to sit down before the exit. This is usually the warmest place.
In custody
As you can see, the location of the seats on the long-distance bus is very important, but to find out exactly the layout, it is best to go to the travel agent's office and ask for a detailed seating plan. Be careful when buying the cheapest tickets, as they are often sold to the most inconvenient and unsafe seats.

Bus Gazelle Next | GAZelle NEXT club
The Gazelle Next minibus based on an all-metal van is designed to accommodate 16 seats. The new generation of Next buses is maximally adapted to ensure that passengers experience comfort and complete safety.
The bus is designed for increased convenience when entering and exiting the cabin, for this, the manufacturers have laid down several points:
- the salon is equipped with a high ceiling of 1.90m;
- high side door;
- at the entrance is equipped with a low step;
- ergonomically positioned seats with seat belts;
- lighting with LEDs;
- panoramic glazing system.
In summer, the temperature in the cabin is maintained by air conditioning, and in winter by a heating system of 3 units. The power elements of the car in the body part, which may be subject to deformation during transportation, were equipped with increased rigidity. The body of the Next bus is galvanized steel, some elements were replaced with high-strength plastic. Thanks to these materials, the Gazelle is protected from corrosion and functional abilities are increased.
The generation of Gazelles Next was improved with new technologies, which have a good effect during operation:
- application of Atsumitec Toyota Tsusho remote drive;
- 80 liter plastic fuel tank;
- The rear suspension was equipped with Mango shock absorbers and updated suspension brackets;
- The frame is equipped with top and bottom reinforcements.
Updating and introducing new technologies allows the Gazelle Next to drive smoothly on roads with any surface, while the driver and passengers feel calm and comfortable. The new van was created using old developments that have proven their reliability. For example, the new Gazelle Next uses a chassis from a similar 2013 model. For ease of control of the van, the following systems were involved:
- The driver's seat is adjustable in 5 positions;
- The driver's cabin is comfortable and spacious;
- The brake is designed for twice the power;
- Rack and pinion steering system;
- The front suspension is independent linkage.
The engines in the new Gazelle will be used diesel and gasoline: Cummins ISF 2.8 and Evotech 2.7, which have previously been used in the Next family.

Why is there no seating chart on the site on the bus?
Question: Why is there no seating chart on the website on the bus?
Unfortunately, there is no single standard for numbering seats on buses. According to a survey of Novosibirsk carriers, it turned out that 6 different ways of numbering seats in the cabin are used. Even the same carrier may have buses with different numbering systems. Below are numbering examples that we found on the Internet and combined into a single drawing.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that different brands and models of buses have different seating arrangements and in most cases it is impossible to predict in advance which bus will go on a trip. According to the agreement with the bus station, the carrier is obliged to put on a flight a bus of a certain capacity and type (for example, 42 soft seats). But the bus model becomes known only shortly before departure. Thus, even having the correct seat maps in hand, it is impossible to indicate the desired one, since the make and model of the bus are not known in advance.
After comprehensively analyzing the task, we came to the conclusion that we are not able to implement it with a satisfactory result. We know that on some competitor sites, the seat map is indicated. We also know that this led to scandals, since the information provided turned out to be unreliable.
Excursion tourism seems to be specially designed for bus tours. Today, this type of travel is becoming increasingly popular. Comfortable buses long-distance routes allow you to enjoy the pleasure of learning new things while traveling. Such transport differs significantly from city buses.
Long-distance buses are equipped with special soft seats, with reclining backrests and armrests. They have a cavity for carrying passengers' goods, including shelves above the seats and a large space under the floor of the passenger compartment. The cabin itself may not only have a chemical toilet, but also a cold and hot water dispenser, a mini-fridge, a TV screen and other devices in order to make the trip comfortable.
When choosing a bus for a long excursion tour it is necessary to take into account all these features and ask in advance how comfortable you will be on the road. Another important point- safe location in the ADS cabin. When buying a ticket, the seats belong to the passengers in the same way as on the train, so it will not be possible to change them in the future. The seating arrangement varies from bus to bus.
Location of seats on buses
Long-distance buses are a popular mode of transport, so many different modifications of such cars are produced. In addition, the carrier has the right to independently equip the ADS cabin at its own discretion. Therefore, even buses produced at the same factory at the same time may differ in both the number of seats and their location.
In particular, special tourist bus MAN in the typical model is designed to accommodate 59 seats, and the numbering starts from the first seat and from the right row. However, the MAN Lion's Coach R 08 modification has only 49 seats, while the number one has a seat in the second row on the right. The first seats from the door are not numbered, as a result of which the last ones receive the numbers 47 and 49.

Such differences can be found in buses of all brands. For example, a small Mercedes 22360C is designed for 20 seats, and the numbering order is confused. The first places 1 and 2 are located behind the driver, and the places next to him are numbered 19 and 20. Further rows are numbered from right to left. Another bus from the same manufacturer, Mersedes-Benz 0303, is numbered from left to right and can accommodate 45 seated passengers.

The carrier can also change the arrangement of seats and equipment of the bus, for example, remove several seats, add a dry closet, make room for office space. Depending on such innovations, the number and sometimes the location of passenger seats will change. Therefore, when buying a ticket, you must carefully study the real scheme of the bus by asking the carrier for it.
Where is the safest place to sit on a long-distance bus?
Traffic safety is not the same for passengers who occupy different seats in the bus. The same thing happens in passenger cars, where the safest place is considered to be behind the driver, and the most at risk is next to him. When buying tickets for ADS, you should look for a ticket for a seat located in the most secure area of the bus.
Here are some bus safety tips:
- The safest place is just behind the driver's seat. It is believed that in the event of a danger, the driver will subconsciously try to protect himself, respectively, the opposite side gets hit the fastest.
- The most comfortable and peaceful places with good level security are located in the center of the cabin. This zone remains the most intact both in a frontal impact and in a rear-end collision. Even in the event of a side impact, the impact can hit the rear, bypassing the middle.
- Seats on the right side of the aisle rather than a window are considered safer than those on the left.
It is also useful to inquire about the safety of the passenger seats themselves. The safety rules in the cabin of the aircraft also apply to the bus: do not walk around the cabin while driving, especially during maneuvers, in case of shaking or a dangerous situation, you must lean forward and hide your head on your knees.
Where is the best place to take the bus?
This information has not been confirmed by special scientific studies, but there are several types of seats where passengers really do not like to sit:
- Enjoys notoriety the last row seats. This prejudice is quite logical, since the smell of burning and exhaust gases is stronger here. The tail of the cabin shifts more from side to side when moving and turning, it is more motion sick here. When braking hard, you can fall into the aisle.
- The first row from the entrance and immediately behind the driver is also not popular. In a frontal impact, this part of the cabin suffers the most.
When choosing a ticket, you should ask if the seats recline. There may be places in the cabin where the back does not move. A conscientious carrier will not sell them, but you should not hope for this, it is better to check in advance and ask the travel agent carefully. Most often, such seats are installed on the unloved last row or next to the door in the middle of the bus. The place near the entrance has a number of features. In particular, it is coldest there in winter, but it is easy to get off first at any stop.
Important
When buying tickets, the features of accommodation in the cabin are not indicated. You can also find out all the details about a particular bus from a travel agent, and for a conversation it is better to personally come to the company's office. There they will be able to show you the exact bus maps, location plans, tell you about what they prefer to keep silent about when ordering via the Internet.
When buying tickets, frequenters of bus tours first of all pay attention to the location of the seats. Why is it important? Let's explain with an example.
Imagine that you have been planning a trip for a long time, thought out the route, chose, as you thought, a good place- with excellent visibility, in the middle of the bus, not far from the door. And then it turned out that it is almost the only one that does not unfold. Everything would be fine, but only when the passengers in front recline their seats, you find yourself squeezed from both sides. As a result, what was dreamed of as a wonderful journey turned into torture.
We will tell you about all the nuances that you need to take into account when choosing a seat on the bus so as not to get into a similar story in the article.
Long-distance buses - good and different
If you think that knowing the number of a seat is enough to understand how convenient it is, you are deeply mistaken. The fleet of modern long-distance buses (ADS) is so diverse that until you see the layout of the cabin, it is premature to draw conclusions.
For example, you got chair number 14. In the tourist MAN for 59 seats, this is the beginning of the salon, 4th row; but in the cabin of the same model for 45 seats, seat number 14 is located in front of the door and, most likely, does not recline. In the 20-seat Mercedes, the same number 14 is located to the left by the window at the end of the cabin, and in the 45-seat Mercedes, to the right at the aisle, 4th row. And there are many such examples.
Even the typical layout of a specific model is not always accurate, since the carrier has the right to make structural changes - add a bathroom, kitchen, remove some of the seats (for example, the back row), equipping a sleeping or cargo compartment.
Site Selection Criteria
Tastes, as you know, do not argue, so everyone may have their own criteria for choosing a convenient place. Experienced tourists recommend first of all to take into account such parameters as:
- safety;
- the location of the seats in relation to the door;
- interior segment (beginning, middle, end).
Let's dwell on them in more detail.
Dangerous and safe
Reports of traffic incidents involving ADF appear with frightening frequency, so the number 1 task of every traveler is to reach their destination safe and sound.
What places are potentially dangerous?
- First row, especially to the right of the aisle. In a head-on collision, they are the first to be hit.
- The last row can suffer if the impact comes from behind. In addition, with sudden braking, rear-row passengers have a higher risk of injury by flying into the aisle.
- Armchairs by the window on the left side of the cabin. We have right-hand traffic, so this side of the bus is always turned to the flow of cars.
The safest places on a long distance bus are as follows.
- In the middle of the saloon right side. But even in this relatively safe zone, it is better not to sit by the window, but near the aisle.
- Seats immediately behind the driver. It is believed that the driver, instinctively avoiding danger, removes this zone from the blow, and, on the contrary, substitutes the right side.
"Insidious" - next to the door
The places located in close proximity to the door are distinguished by a special "treachery".
If they are behind it, in winter and autumn - this is a zone of cold air currents that fall on passengers every time the door is opened. By the way, in the summer the influx of fresh air can rather be attributed to the pluses.
If the seats are on the right side in front of the door in the middle of the passenger compartment, they do not recline. It was designed so as not to interfere with people getting off at stops. Usually such seats are cheaper, but passengers do not always fully understand the reason for the bonus.
The area next to the door is not without merit. You will be the first to get off the bus in the parking lot, respectively, you will quickly get to the buffet, the toilet, or just have time to smoke.
Back row disadvantages
Few people like the last row in the ADF. And there are reasons for this.
- It shakes harder here, and people with seasickness get motion sick.
- The backs of the seats do not recline, which means that there is no way to relax, take a nap.
- If not the climate control system is used to cool the air, but the general air conditioner, it blows strongly from behind.
- If there is only one TV, it cannot be seen or heard from the back row. The same goes for the guide during the tour.
Some tour operators usually sell two tickets for the last row of 5 seats. Then their owners will have the opportunity not only to sit down, but also to fully lie down.
Features of choosing a seat in a double-decker bus
The travel agency can offer you a trip on a double-decker bus. This vehicle has a different layout of seats and its own characteristics.
To determine what suits you best, study the pros and cons of each floor.
Advantages of the first floor:
- spacious salon;
- there are fewer people than at the top;
- comfortable tables;
- next to a bathroom, kitchen, water cooler, refrigerator.
Of the minuses
The salon is located low in relation to the road, so you won’t be able to admire the panoramic landscapes.
Be prepared for the fact that in the evening the drivers will continue to communicate, and perhaps listen to music or watch a movie.
Advantages of the second floor
- magnificent panoramic view;
- silence in the evening, because the drivers are below.
There are also cons
It is closer here than on the first floor, which will be especially felt by tall and obese passengers.
Be prepared to go down every time to use the facilities or during stops. The second floor is not for people with disabilities.
And instead of a conclusion. Having chosen a place to your liking, make sure that it is officially indicated in the voucher (everything is clear with the ticket), otherwise it will turn out, as in that joke - whoever got up earlier gets the slippers.
This article will focus on seats on the bus. We will talk about which ones to choose to feel safer, and which ones to ignore so as not to ruin your trip. Consider also the schemes of various buses.
Seats on long-distance buses
Transportation of people over long distances occupies a special niche in passenger transportation. It should be noted that there are separate tourist tours, which often use large-capacity cars. The location of the seats on the bus, the layout of which can change with different capacity of cars, can largely determine the comfort and safety of the trip. As a rule, a seat for a passenger is retained until the end of the trip, so you need to take his choice very responsibly.
Seats on buses - location
In the fleets of travel companies and enterprises involved in transporting people over long distances, there is a wide variety of car models. There is no single position on the bus, the scheme of which would be common to all manufacturers. Manufacturers, as well as companies involved in transportation, can equip machines at their discretion, if they do not violate the safety requirements regulated by normative documents. Even single-brand buses produced in the same year can differ as interior design and the number of seats. To the question: “What is the location of the seat on the bus, what does the layout inside look like?” the answer is only approximate.
Before buying a ticket, you should check with the carrier for the layout of the seats.
In addition to convenience, safety should be taken into account, on which the choice of the right place depends.
Safe places
News feeds often talk about traffic accidents involving passenger transport. Therefore, a careful selection of the location of the seat on the bus, the selection scheme of which is discussed below, will directly affect the safety of your life.
For a safer trip, you need to consider the following points:
- one of the safest places is the one located behind the driver's seat;
- you should choose seats located in the center of the cabin;
- it is better to choose seats installed on the right side.
The following places can ruin your trip:
- The last seats, because in this part, as a rule, there is a lot of burning, and after a certain period of time there is a risk of getting exhaust poisoning. Riding in the rear leads to more motion sickness, and emergency braking is likely to fly into the aisle between the seats.
- Seats located next to the door or the driver.
- Non-folding seats, as a rule, located at the end, as well as in front of the exit in the middle of the cabin.
Placement examples
