Gangway arrangement, intended to equip a public transport jointed vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle 5 The gangway arrangement is intended to be laid out between two bodies of a public transport jointed vehicle, notably a railway vehicle, each body having an end portion, and the gangway arrangement extending along a longitudinal direction (X). The gangway arrangement includes at least one seating member (16) for at least one passenger. The gangway arrangement is intended to be connected through a pivot 10 connection (18) to the end portion of one of the bodies, this body extending along a longitudinal axis and said end portion comprising an access corridor (22), delimited by two opposite edges (24). The seating member (16) has an end (17) intended to extend one of the edges (24) when the gangway arrangement is connected to the body. An angular spacing ( o) is provided between the end (17) of the seating member and the edge (24) 15 which it extends, when the longitudinal direction is aligned with the longitudinal axis (A) of the corresponding body, this angular spacing ( 0) being considered relatively to the pivot connection (18), and this angular spacing ( 0) corresponds to the angle formed between the longitudinal axis of the body and the longitudinal direction (X) when the tilt between both bodies is maximum.
