> I think to make this somewhat efficient they really need to redesign the seats so that more of them can be folded up and strollers aren’t in the way. I’m not sure what that looks like but it should at least be considered.

Montreal actually has that solved. It's a pretty simple solution: seats that by default are folded into the up position. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/montreal/comments/aogi3u/apparently_were_getting_new_buses_the_whole_bus/ and https://cptdb.ca/wiki/images/3/3c/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_de_transport_de_Montr%C3%A9al_29-844_interior-a.jpg. It also makes the wheelchair boarding process slightly quicker as a nice bonus.

That looks lovely. Any idea how they work in actual use? Are they workin as expected or have there been usage issues? That definitely lines up with what I’m referring to.

Can't speak about day to day use but the few times I needed to use them with luggage on various trips, it was very convenient to just put the bags in that space.
