    What I like about your channel is that you're not being a downer on almost any modes of transportation and you call a spade a spade. That's refreshing in this social media world of "influencers" who are just trying to make themselves look better and the hell with the rest of us.

    Always good to see a transportation option that doesn't seek to occupy every square inch with more and more seats crammed closer together. Maybe The Jet will expand to some other cities soon - looks better than flying and definitely driving, and if it runs where trains don't, it'll be a winner!

    Looks like a great offering Kuga, though I think there is room for improvement, if The Jet people are reading this.
    I would opt for airbag suspension, and do away with the rollercoaster and costly to install and PITA to maintain individual suspended seating.
    This, combined with smaller wheels and larger tires (creates more cushion in the auto world .. I am a car / auto nerd ..), and would be a very plush ride.
    The wood floor is kinda weird, I get the ease of cleaning aspect, it looks Ikea to me. I would have gone with a luxury carpet for sound insulation benefits and befitting of premium coach travel.

    It's important for them to have proper Seating for long hauls.

    You can try riding a luxury bus in Indonesia from Jakarta to Yogyakarta with a distance of 152km, travel time of 8 hours with a fare of USD 80. The exterior design of the bus is better, the seats are more luxurious like in a VIP class A-380 airplane. The ticket price already includes lunch or dinner. There is also a sleeper bus that has its own space complete with all entertainment facilities inside.

    Those seats are air ride seats that have air bags underneath them. They are used in 18 wheelers and can be much fancier that that including back massage. That and air ride suspension makes for a very plush ride.

    @johnbridgman4310 9 месяцев назад

    The way the seats are moving makes me wonder if they are actively stabilized (like a gun mount) rather than just on soft suspension. It seems unlikely at first glance but the technology is there to do it inexpensively... and a single set of sensors could probably handle all the seats in the bus.

    If it is worth it would depend on what the price is for a normal bus like Greyhound and how long they take.I suspect,but not having done that trip,that they will be substantially cheaper and probably a bit slower.They'd be busier than the JET that is for sure.
