The train looks to have half as many people standing as there is capacity to sit (and of course the seats are full). All of which begs the question of what the mandatory seat reservation policy is meant to achieve. An effective public transport system should be efficient, comfortable, reliable and affordable. Ideally it should delight at times too. There is a lot of excellence in the industry, our rail stations are generally better places than ever, many rail services benefit from much more comfortable rolling stock, the roll out of electric buses not only improves the local environment for all, it makes for more pleasant experience in vehicle too… But in terms of reliability and overall passenger experience, the system too often is hostile to its users. Given the stubborn levels of transport carbon emissions and our endemic car dependency, this is not good enough.
