The fabric on the low-floor buses surprised me in the fact that they don't
show much dirt.  At first I thought they would, and having graffiti-like
patterns pre-printed on the fabric looked really gawdy.  But it has grown on
me and looks real good when the bus is fully fitted out in it, even when 3
years old.  And no doubt replacement of the seat pads has dropped
dramatically compared to other vehicles.  I am yet to see any of the seat
covers with visible graffiti so it is really effective.  It would be great if
CityRail had similar.
