I've seen city buses that look more comfortable than that.

This article is nothing but evidence that even in this world economy
(or maybe because of it), there are people with way too much time to
doodle bizarre ideas and write about them.

Theres 0% chance anything like this would ever get regulatory
approval; no back support, no way to properly belt in the passengers,
and the aisles would never pass an evacuation test.

Now the drawings at the end, of the "standing seats" might be feasible
(note that you stand/lean against a platform, presumably with
straps/belts, and it looks like it has a flip up stool). Might
actually be more comfortable and easier to maneuver in/out of for
taller folks than a seat.
