    　　Now we have comfortable buses in New York．I would like to describe to you how comfortable they are．The number of the seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19．

    　　In the beginning, they just changed the normal(正常的)seats to airplane seats and took off 10 seats on the bus．However, every passenger(乘客)wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when he took long distance trips by bus．Also, the bus manager wanted to get more profits(利润)，so they changed the airplane seats to sofas, and the number of the seats becomes 19．

    　　The new buses are coming out, but the prices are going up too．The owners have many ideas which you have probably never thought about before．Now they have bus attendants(服务员)who serve water, snacks, newspapers and towels．

    　　Also, you can change the direction of the sofas so that you can feel more comfortable, and they have a service bell on each sofa．What's more, some companies play some videos on the bus．In addition, when you take a long distance trip, they provide luxurious buses that have an LCD(液晶彩色显示器)on each seat．That is not the only surprising thing on the bus一they also have three different video channels, and seventy TV games for killing time when you are on the bus．

    　　In a word, we want to be more comfortable when we are on a trip．That is the reason why we have sofas on the buses．Maybe we will have beds on the buses in the future．
