Flamethrower dislikes this new configuration of seats in MRT trains, as he feels that more ugly commuter behaviour will be exhibited as a result.
He explains:
"I was appalled when I came across this refurbished MRT train with a seatless configuration. The whole column of seats are removed and left with only two bars on each side, probably for resting of bums.
"I find it really astonishing that SMRT is really doing something unbelievable to maximise the already maximised profits. Why not just label all remaining seats as 'Priority Seats', since only about 20 or 30 seats are left per carriage, especially so in the ageing society?
"Now, the redundant announcement of 'please allow passengers to alight first' will be further ignored. Passengers will start to 'sprint' into the cabin for the precious seats instead of the current 'dashing'. At the end of the day, who wins? Or rather, who suffers?
"I wonder when will be the time for a train with NO SEAT at all to be introduced. Probably very soon."
What do you think of this design? Tell us.
