For as long as we have been posting on transportation, you guys have been asking one question in the comments more than any other. When, oh when, is our dear Metro going to debut those new seating arrangements we’ve been hearing so much about? We showed you a few pictures a few weeks ago, but this week, Metro went live with the new designs, showing them off to the public and reporters on Monday morning.

Starting this week, Metro will be testing several new seating designs, looking for rider feedback. The first, car # 3262, started rolling on the Orange Line on Monday with 10 fewer seats and no floor-to-ceiling poles or windscreens inside the doors.
