With Twiliner, we want to offer our customers a unique and comfortable reclining seat in our night bus. In doing so, we ventured into a terrain where we had no prior experience: building a bus seat.
Here we share our insights that we have gathered during the development process. So, if you are planning to build a bus seat (without having any idea), we hope to provide an overview:
- Intensive research and in-depth investigation
Before you even begin construction, it is important to conduct intensive research and familiarize yourself with applicable regulations and standards. - Collaboration with experienced experts
To develop a high-quality reclining seat, we partnered with experienced experts from certified testing facilities, an established manufacturer in the aviation industry, and innovative bus operators. - Keeping safety and comfort in focus
We have developed a safety concept and checked it physically as well as virtually to ensure that our reclining seat meets the high standards.. At the same time, we designed the seat to be as comfortable as first-class seats on airplanes. - Patience and stamina
Developing a reclining seat for a coach requires patience and stamina. It is a very long process that brings many challenges. It is a lengthy process that comes with many challenges. We worked hard to realise our vision and were always ready to face the difficulties that came our way. - Creativity and flexibility
As a startup in such a rigid regulatory environment and the traditional coach industry, creativity is our secret weapon and stylistic means. With openness (and sometimes naivety), we can flexibly respond to the diverse challenges.
We hope these insights are helpful. Otherwise, we also look forward to comments from fellow sufferers or inspiring suggestions from established experts.
