New buses; new look; USB outlets

[Day-Day]

I don't see why a person standing cannot use a port; just reach over and plug in.

We don't know exactly where the ports are located. In the video, it looks to me like they're on the back of the seats, which would be kind of awkward reaching from the aisle. And if there's a sudden stop or a turn for which you're not prepared, your phone might be yanked out of your hand, or the cord might get yanked out and whip someone in the face.

I'm not sure what the issue is. Lots of places add charging ports for convenience. Before that we had electrical outlets.

I don't think there have been any brawls over the years. Everyone will cope.

I might use a bus usb if I happened to be sitting by one. If not, no big deal.

Yup!

I'd be willing to risk it if I was standing in the right position.

I like the new bus look and the fact that they have USB ports!

They're between and slightly under the seats (where you sit, not the seatback).

I first thought they were high up on the back of the seats but see now in the video that it looks like they are between, almost underneath, the seats. I misjudged the perspective the first time I reviewed it. If this is the case, I'll have to change my position about standing and using them. I don't think I would after all.

Yeah, I see it now.

So if you're not sitting there, you'd better be very careful reaching for it -- especially in the "Me Too" era.

I do like the look. The USB ports are a nice touch, though we carry battery packs for our phones since we rely on them so much for MDX app.
