😖Plastic seats? Hot summer days, shorts and plastic seats= 😱 Ouch as we peel skin stuck to the seat!

@SnowyCA The STM used plastic seats and it’s not that bad. It doesn’t stick in my personal experience.

They used to have the worst seats where you had hard plastic with another 2-3cm thick hard plastic backrest ending midway through the lower spine.

At least now, those seats do the full lower back, with a “carve out” for the spine.

The best seats: the cushioned ones from the buses dating to the late 1980s.

Le pire c'est quand ça freine sec, surtout assis sur les sièges de côté. Faut s'accrocher aux pôles pour ne pas glisser sur les voisin.es . À Québec y'a un modèle plus vieux qui a des sièges plutôt durs mais recouverts d'un tissu qui ne dérape pas, ce sont mes préférés !
