We're not gonna lie, this looks horrendous.
In fact, we're not sure we could imagine anything worse when hopping on a bus after a long day at work.
Public transport for Irish people tends to mean deliberately leaving your bag on the seat next to you, with the aim of avoiding any awkward conversation with strangers.
But, this bus company in the U.K is aiming to change all that.
Go South Coast runs services across the South of England and has installed these horse- show seats, aiming to encourage conversation. They will also allow families to sit together. It comes following a think tank called "civility code", which tries to stop Londoners from being rude and unfriendly to each other.
I hope this doesn't happen in #London - wldnt mind it in Eastbourne

Okay but like the MTA already does this in a way, and all that has happened as a result of it is a very awkward bus ride to school pic.twitter.com/pHJ49LcAp1
