Paid Seat Service
This refers to a service run by railroads within the metropolitan area that allows passengers to sit in a seat during the morning and evening rush hour for an additional fee. The service has been widely adopted by railroad companies. In this case it seems that the demand of passengers who want to sit down during their commute coincides with the railroad companies’ appetite for increased revenues.
