The new seats in the Tobu Tojo line.
This is the train I rode yesterday in the Tobu Tojo line. The long rows of seats on the sides of the cars have been replaced by three pairs of seats like these. Apparently these new seats can pivot like the ones they have in long-distance trains.
I think the change is weird. Yes, these seats look nice and are more comfortable than the old ones. However, where before 8 people could sit (with more than enough room), now only 6 people can sit. Maybe they think the trains aren’t crowded enough?
