Well I did get on a 100.3 the other day (With Comfy, comfy Vogel's) and the driver stated I was the first passenger for the day to have correct change for my ticket. The next few passengers he had he just let on, as he had no 10c pieces to give them (I purchased a daily) due to the high amounts of concession tickets being sold.
Firstly Todd, they are Saydair seats...Vogel seats can be found in things like Forest and Veolia buses and in a fair few bustech's.
As I said, ACTION management need to be made aware that this is and issue and order extra 10c pieces when they order change rolls for the drivers.
Ah, actually, 129 (IIRC) is fitted with trial seating, which I believe is of the company Vogel. 113, and a few other 100.3a's have different types of seating in them.
Nooo. 129 has normal Saydair seats.
Maybe you are thinking of 127, which was a semi-refurb and now has McConnell seats in it.
113 Has a few retrofitted seats, much like the ones used in Brisbane. I forget who makes them other than the fact they are quite tacky.

Yeeees. It has Vogel seating. They all got replaced when the wheelchair ramps were removed. There are about 4 different types of seats in the different 100.3a's.
Photo Please Todd.
If anyone can confirm which buses have which kinds of seating, please post here so we can add the info into the Wiki
They are Vogel Bench style seats, in a light grey fabric (Different from the Saydair fabric). Mathew, you know I know what the hell a Saydair is, as I love my Saydairs. However, these Vogels were quite comfortable. I Cannot find which type they are on the Vogelsitze website.
I must say that the Vogels are very comfprtable. They are on just about every bus up here in Cairns including all the piecarts ;D

I thought Vogel was a type of bread. Hmm.
Well Vogel is actually a shortened name, it's actually short for vogelsitze

They look fairly comfortable, with a reasonably thick swab...

The BT seats are SDK, a European seat which is marketed in Australia through some other comany. Will see if I can find the company here.
They are smitho, i've been on buses with Vogels, you just sink right in they are very comfy! Unless of course you go on a Veolia bus where they put vinyl on the Vogels....idiots

It's SKA - another German seat company.
Indeed, SKA. My apologies. They are sold as Eurocity by Styleride in Australia. http://www.styleride.com.au/eurocity.html (http://www.styleride.com.au/eurocity.html)
