The bus company I use to trip to work used to let you select your seats free of charge and now they are charging for the luxury.

Therefore I go with the seat assigned automatically to me free of charge and then I sit wherever I fancy anyway.

Buses/coaches almost always have empty seats during different parts of a journey, and people move around during a drive and inbetween stops as well.

I can't see how a specific seat can be enforced if noone else has it.

True of city commuter busses. I am wondering if he is talking about busses like Greyhound or Trailways, where there may not be as many stops.

i dont know about trailways, but there is no such thing as greyhound anymore.
greyhound uses 3rd party bus companies.

I was born in the back seat, of a Greyhound Bus, Rolling down Highway 41.

The ones I take are inter-city buses. They stop at big villages only.

For reference, you get three stops mid-trip in a two hour trip.

That is what I thought. You are talking about buses that travel between
cities instead of traveling around in the same city.

I was thinking maybe there was not.

The OP is in Spain so they didn't have Greyhound there (I guess). I was
giving August, who is in North America, an idea of what I thought arelor
(in Spain) was talking about... inter-city busses vs. inner-city commuter busses.
