Bus interiors and operator environment
Better working conditions. Safer, more durable interiors.
Seating, glazing, barriers, and flooring for transit vehicles
A transit vehicle interior must support the operator, protect passengers, withstand constant use, and remain practical to maintain. Troman brings these needs together through BE-GE operator seating and an expanded selection of TransitGuard and Gerflor products represented through Metro Transit Sales.
From ergonomic seating and heat-rejecting glass to operator-protection barriers, glazing services, surface treatments, and slip-resistant flooring, these products help fleets improve comfort, safety, durability, and long-term vehicle performance across new-bus and retrofit programs.
Troman offers bus interior and operator-environment products including BE-GE driver seating, TransitGuard glazing and protection solutions, and Gerflor flooring for North American transit fleets.
Stable support without giving up useful damping.
A low-motion seating option for transit operator environments
Troman supplies and supports the BE-GE 34-series, a soft-static driver seat that is virtually static while retaining a controlled damping function. The design combines a practical mounting profile with broad height and fore-aft adjustment for buses and other professional driving applications.
An integrated-headrest backrest, mechanical lumbar support, adjustable cushion, and quick-release backrest adjustment are standard. Troman can help fleets specify options, mounting, trim, electrical equipment, and belt requirements for the vehicle.
Troman supplies the BE-GE 34-series soft-static driver seat for transit fleets seeking stable support, ergonomic adjustment, mechanical lumbar support, and controlled damping.
