      In this short paper some suggestions for generalized adapted bases in different spaces are given. For the gauge transformation, the proposed adapted basis of the dual tangent space is \(\{dx^\alpha,\delta y^i=dy^i+K^i_{j\alpha} y^jdx^\alpha+ K^i_{jk}y^jdy^k\}\), for the Finsler structure the adapted basis has the form \(\{dx^\alpha,\overline\delta y^i= P^i_kdy^k+Q^i_\alpha dx^\alpha\}\). In the higher-order spaces \(\text{Osc}^kM\), using the notation of A. Kawaguchi, the adapted basis in the dual tangent space is \(\{dx^\alpha,\widetilde\delta y^{(\alpha)i}\}\), where \(\widetilde\delta y^{(\alpha)i}\) is some linear combination of \(dx^\alpha\) and \(dy^{(\beta)k}\). In time-dependent Lagrange geometry the adapted basis is \(\{dx^\alpha,\delta y^i,\delta\lambda=d\lambda+ M^0_\alpha dx^\alpha+ L^0_idy^i\}\). In all cases, the coefficients of the \(d\)-connection are mentioned and the metric tensor has diagonal form with respect to the proposed bases. The transformations of the coefficients in the basis vectors are not given.
