In order to provide a comfortable rest zone with an easy chair and reclining surface for a driver, even in a confined space, provision is made for a driver's cab for an individual driver to have an easy chair which can be converted into a bed. In this arrangement, a mattress runs over the armrest having an armrest cushion of the easy chair. The armrest cushion cushions the reclining surface, so that the mattress is of as space-saving a design as possible.

The invention relates to a heating installation for the passenger compartment of omnibuses, comprising radiant heating elements which are disposed on the omnibus side walls under the side windows. In order to accommodate in a space-saving manner the hot-water carrying heating pipes supplying the radiant heating elements with thermal energy, the upper wall surface of the radiant heating elements which faces the passenger compartment is formed by a continuous interior cladding bearer of the respective omnibus side wall and the interior cladding bearer is formed in the armrest region of the passenger seats into a longitudinally continuous arm support. The heating pipe is laid in the cavity formed by this construction.
