maths22 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 As of today, it is official that Metra will be switching to the new-style stationary seats. See https://metrarail.com/about-metra/newsroom/metra-purchase-new-modern-seats Their own release includes this beautiful statement, which basically says that Metra doesn't care that many people don't want to ride backwards: Quote Most respondents indicated they were unsatisfied with the direction the new seats face (the stationary design means that half of seats face backwards), however, the majority of customers who had an opinion about the new seats were satisfied with both their comfort and size.

Looks like the bottom line is that the flip over seats are no longer that available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictures Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 There's one advantage to the new seats. I'll always be able to see how many people are lining up early to get off at either my stop or downtown, so I'll never have to turn around to guess when I should stand up.
