Kung araw-araw kang nagko-commute, marahil ay nasanay ka na sa matingkad na kulay at weird patterns ng bus seats.

Hindi ka ba nagtataka kung bakit makulay ang fabric design ng mga upuan?

Ang totoo, sadya ang paggamit ng matingkad na kulay at agaw-pansing designs.

Sa katunayan, maging sa ibang bansa ay ganito ang designs ng seats hindi lang sa bus kindi pati na rin sa train at tram seats.

Ang pangunahing rason: Para maitago ang hindi nais makita, gaya ng dumi at mantsa sa upuan na kung sino-sino ang umuupo dito araw-araw.

Dahil sa visual appearance ng mga upuan, naitatago sa mga mata ng pasahero ang actual dirt na naririto.

REASONS FOR THE WEIRD DESIGNS

Kung gagamit kasi ng iisa at light color, madaling makikita kung gaano karumi ang mga upuan.

Mas mahirap kasi para sa pasahero na makita ang mantsa kung ang upuan ay nababalutan ng varying patterns, ulat ng News18 website.

“The better they are concealed, the brighter the colour and the more patterns there are on the seat cover.

“Additionally, the patterns are typically unattractive, making it difficult for passengers to look at them for longer periods to notice the stains.”

Kaugnay ng topic na ito, viral ang isang video kung saan ipinakita kung gaano karumi ang bus seat.

Makikita sa video ang loob ng bus at nag-focus sa isa sa mga upuan sa sasakyang medyo may kalumaan na.

Pero matapos simulang pukpukin ng small wooden hammer ang upuan, lumabas ang napakakapal na alikabok.

Hindi naman agad mapapansin ang makapal na alikabok dahil nga sa kulay ng seat cover.

FABRIC USED IN BUS SEATS

Malaki rin ang kinalaman ng fabric na ginagamit sa seat covers ng bus. Tinatawag itong moquette.

“Coming from the French word for carpet, moquette has been seen and sat upon by millions of commuters on buses, trains, trams and trolleybuses for over 100 years,” ayon sa London Transport Museum.

“Moquette was chosen for public transport for two reasons.

“First, because it is hard wearing and durable. Second, because its colour and patterns disguise signs of dirt, wear and tear.

“On top of this moquette had the advantage of being easy and cheap to mass-produce.”

“It is produced on looms using the Jacquard weaving technique, with a pile usually made up of 85% wool mixed with 15% nylon.”

Punto pa sa reports, sa ganitong uri ng disenyo at tela, hindi kailangang maging high maintenance ng mga upuan.

Ito ang dahilan kaya importante na magkaroon ng proper hygiene sa tuwing sumasakay sa public transport.

Mahalagang laging may bitbit na hand sanitizer o alcohol matapos humawak sa parte ng bus, apti na rin sa mga rails at handles.
