Planning Layout for bus.

This may or may not be realistic. Many buses have the major electrical equipment right there on the driver's left. Sure, it could all be relocated, but what an awfully complex job.

Best of luck!

I drove a semi for many years, I much prefer the bus method of stand up and walk down steps.
IMO, having the entrance door back farther on the side, uses up valuable floor space. If you put the
passenger seat at the very edge of the front foot well, the passenger is only about a foot farther back
than the driver. That's only about 6 inches farther than most people ride in their cars with the passenger
seat moved back. A floor for the passenger can be easy or complex. I have a hinged drop down one, my
son has an electric one that disappears into the floor under the seat.
