Bus seats

They do that so they don't show barf.

This is how dirty bus seats can get...

i was on a bus and it had pictures of boats on the seat

CarlosWeiner · 2012-11-02T20:51:48+00:00

little known fact: those shitty bus seat covers are scientifically designed to hide all the disgusting shit that gets on them.

Spectrum_Yellow · 2012-11-02T21:55:54+00:00

this is what the bus seats look like where I live. They've already put graffiti on them so when people actually graffiti it doesn't stand out

sgtpppr · 2012-11-02T20:43:01+00:00

They only use random shapes to hide the feces and semen stains.

Doza1 · 2012-11-02T20:09:26+00:00

YES! Squiggly lines of different colors, how did we not see this before!?

Patbach · 2012-11-02T21:40:18+00:00

Part of my job is to clean busses. And I'd like to add that even worse design flaw is that since it's made from tissue, we can't clean them because they take to long to dry.

So busses go their entire life (~15years) without ever having their seat cleaned (exept when someone vomits on it).

The reason for tissue is because on plain plastic surfaces people were slipping off their seat. Good reason but personally I can't help to wonder how hard it is to find an anti-slip surface that is washable.. can't be that hard?

Stockholm subway train seats

Reminded me a lot of the picture somehow, even if there is motives.

arte444 · 2012-11-02T21:30:14+00:00

I should sell t-shirts with bus seat designs

rhayward · 2012-11-02T20:13:04+00:00

"Guys, we need new seats"

"Let me see that... ATCHOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"Wow, that is perfect, thank you Johnson. It's a wrap boys!"

ShinichiKudo · 2012-11-02T22:47:48+00:00

This is how some of our buses look like in Germany. http://imgur.com/AD3C9 Note: All seats are on a different height. I still couldn't figure out why.

redditicon92 · 2012-11-02T19:51:55+00:00

all canadian buses..

Hapistoric · 2012-11-02T20:07:47+00:00

Perfect drawing of the bus seats in our city

Mississauga Transit ("MiWay") bus seats: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6238/6336533326_143934cd4e_b.jpg

Yep, they're pretty much identical.

EatsHerVeggies · 2012-11-02T21:39:35+00:00

THANK YOU! Every single time I get on a bus I have the same averse reaction to the bizarre, squigglybarf seat cushions. They always seem to be the same day-glo colors, too. I have often wondered if they're all designed by the same person-- like, there's one guy in the world who's the go-to guy when your bus company needs seats, and he's obsessed with Wham and Milli Vanilli and just channels that into his creative process. I mean, it's not like they couldn't get the same stain-hiding efficiency from some simple neutrals like the rest of the carpet world does..

antifolkhero · 2012-11-02T20:50:48+00:00

More like, "we need the cheapest possible material we can use for public bus seats. Buy whatever you can find that nobody else wants and haggle them down from there.

I was hoping to find an expert on bus seat covers in the comments

AckAckAckAckAckAck · 2012-11-02T19:54:53+00:00

as a resident of DC... yes.

wooooood · 2012-11-02T20:07:57+00:00

I've been on a bus with those seat covers before!

rooomatethaw · 2012-11-02T20:37:30+00:00

is that where they stole the design for theater carpet!

Centru · 2012-11-02T20:41:53+00:00

Let's destroy the shagohod, gotta love hiimdaisy

shitwhore · 2012-11-02T20:55:39+00:00

Didn't know this design was universal!

Janky_Pants · 2012-11-02T21:08:44+00:00

No, that is for a '98 Dodge Neon.

hitlechro · 2012-11-02T22:34:16+00:00

I thought this was just Mississauga, Canada

WcDeckel · 2012-11-02T19:16:36+00:00

i laughed too hard at this...

Freddie_AppsHero · 2012-11-02T20:44:42+00:00

Yep, looks like the train seats in Melbourne.

Attention: anybody who works in the public transport field. Why the squiggly fuckin' lines and circles and shit?

LightBerry81 · 2012-11-02T20:50:58+00:00

I thought LA City Buses where the only ones!!!

Outofmany · 2012-11-02T22:32:19+00:00

Could it be that gasp Americans and Europeans are empathizing with each other?

left-field · 2012-11-02T22:48:18+00:00

Now gentlemen, we shall double our profits by using this to carpet bowling alleys.

Alphapix · 2012-11-02T23:49:46+00:00

I can't stop lauging at how true this is.

Animal89 · 2012-11-03T01:42:04+00:00

they are made to look like shit so everything else that gets on them blends in

goofandaspoof · 2012-11-03T02:33:32+00:00

Hey don't knock it. I've gotten hours of "entertainment" analyzing the patterns on individual seats. It's like cloud watching.

LookAtLeo · 2012-11-03T03:51:02+00:00

Most bus seat covers all over the world are this design. I used to think it was just my city until I went travelling.

Rebbawskaced · 2012-11-02T17:50:35+00:00

This is the best one of these I have seen.

raybert · 2012-11-02T20:33:46+00:00

What's next? Seats with googly eyes?

[deleted] · 2012-11-02T20:33:49+00:00

I have never understood why they aren't pleather or some other non adsorbent material. I don't want to sit on someone else's soaked in smell and juices.

kubina1 · 2012-11-02T20:20:59+00:00

..but there was dignity in plastic seats that day.

smellslikerape · 2012-11-02T20:38:52+00:00

All I can see is a duck on a leash

sugarfalls4eva · 2012-11-02T20:48:34+00:00

Penn state buses. But I think they did it the other way around. Confetti to solid. Maybe I remember backwards. Also, their new buses are so quiet. I'm glad I'm not near there, it would be that classic bus slam scene but without the sound.

eyecite · 2012-11-02T21:00:05+00:00

I've seen other comics like this, does anyone know where I can find a set of them?

mrpopenfresh · 2012-11-02T21:03:16+00:00

I'm sure there were some serious studies behind this pattern, as if it somehow hides stains and grime better than anything else.
