Here's some respect for that seat on some metro transit busses that is set slightly out from the others. It's on the busses with mostly side-facing seats, near the rear door. It is set further out into the aisle and it's kind of separated from its neighbouring seats. That particular seat made many a late-night trip home from work easier because I knew that a drunk or stinky person couldn't sit next to me and have any part of their body touch mine.
