General 500 Passenger shuttle

This shuttle was designed to ferry Star-Liner passengers, luggage & supplies from the planet to concourses at the 100D limit.

Time is money for Star-Liners just as it was for their ancient ancestors the Ocean Liners. Thus they jump in to system, dock at the concourse, take on supplies, let off passengers, exchange any crew, take on new passengers and jump to the next destination as soon as possible.

These are from Mongoose 2e but seem useful here.

"Acceleration Benches
These comprise the basic seating used for the temporary transportation of passengers. Comfort is limited but safety remains paramount. The benches are heavily padded with integral safety harnesses in case of gravity failure. They are normally designed to fold down from walls or pull up from floors, to grant more useable space when not in use.
Each ton dedicated to acceleration benches seats four passengers and costs Cr10,000.


Acceleration Seat
Similar to an acceleration bench, this seating is somewhat comfier though less space efficient. While not luxurious, it is commonly used on commercial small craft designed for short haul flights to and from orbit and flights to close satellites. Each acceleration seat consumes 0.5 tons and costs Cr30,000"

Not sure if you're interested in mixing editions at all, but if this shuttle is just ferrying people from the 100 diameter limit that is less than a 6 hour flight at 1 G, and these acceleration seats are spacious compared to long haul airplane seats.
