Page "Commuter rail" Paragraph 50

In the U. S. and some other countries, a three-and-two seat plan is used.

However, few people sit in the middle seat on these trains because they feel crowded and uncomfortable.

It is said one industrial designer for one of New York City's commuter railroads, Metro-North, told people: " I designed the aisle seat with a half-back and no upholstery, so it will be very uncomfortable to sit there.

They'll move in and take the center seat!

" ( This seating design can also be found on older New Jersey Transit and Long Island Rail Road rolling stock.
