My journey would be more comfortable if my seat were not taken by another passenger and I had to sit in the middle at the end of the aisle right at the back of the bus with no table or pedestals to support my feet as the seat is too high for me and too warm. There shouldn't a seat there. There should be a clear consequence states on the ticket if a passenger takes other's seat without consent.
