This is a good looking bus. It's hard to imagine why it ended up in a salvage yard.

These seats were not padded or high-backed like school bus seats. I forgot to snap a picture, but the front row of seats did not have any barrier either. By the position of the stanchion on the door side of the vehicle, you can see how much of the first bench was completely open to the stairwell.
