Why did they change the flat bench style seats to the seats with the dividers. The seats are always to small and close together. People dont move cause its uncomfortable as shit to sit on the hump that divides the seats. Those tiny seats are unrealistic when most people on avg are overweight. It has become a trend for people to leave an empty seat in between them which makes that stupid seat design counter productive. If the seats are all bench seats people can sit close to eachother while still being able to adjust for bigger or smaller people. The designers probably thought they were maximizing the amount of seat space but all they did was make it so less people fit on the bench comfortably. So now u either get half as many people taking up the bench or u get people squeezing into the empty seats and then everyone is uncomfortable and sitting too tight. They were probably also wanting to make it uncomfortable for homeless to lay down on the bench because those humps to divide the seats suck... What they did was just make it uncomfortable for everyone. It's ridiculous.

The flat bench design is newer than the defined curved seats.

Well then they should get rid of all those trains with the defined seats.
