OOOOH, do tell (details).
Coming back in three weeks, and it never occurred to me that this would be possible.
Remember that on buses that I took you were assigned seat numbers, and you can obviously BUY two seats, but on many popular routes there are people waiting for the next bus when current one is full.
OTOH, since seats are pre assigned, this should be doable, but would appreciate first hand experience.
