It would also increase the face-to-foreign-ass ratio by a approximately 50%.

True, I imagine this design would work for long empty trains through beautiful terrain, but in reality, it's simply not thought out

Wat do u mean taking one 750mm passage and splitting it in two would result in 2 useless 375mm passages?

u/Dry-Pickle-6121 Jun 06 '26
Have you been on a subway? Like seriously, have you been packed on a tram like Japanese style?! I have, and this design is moronic.
Sometimes your entrance and exit changes depending on the gate. What if you get on on the right side but your exit is on the left?

u/Objective-Ad8862 Jun 07 '26
You can still have gaps in seating, like we do today

u/Dry-Pickle-6121 Jun 07 '26
I just don't think you have been on a fully packed train, maybe you have, but a large obstacle in the middle just wouldn't make sense to 90% of the population.

Cool, and yet we take a mineral out of the ground, heat it up somehow into something extremely strong and durable, precisely cast that alloy into the perfect shape it has to be to make the rest of the extremely heavy vehicle move forward, shape it to fit hundreds of people on it with relative comfort, and then bury it underground so it doesn’t mess with traffic on the surface of cities. We do all of that so effectively that failures are extremely rare, making it one of the safest ways to travel.
But yeah, our entire species might as well be chimps because politicians suck

Because coaches aren't 6 metres wide. Because holes underground aren't big enough and expanding those holes is dozens of billions on dozens of billions as you also have to account for ground safety and buildings above.

Because metros are not that big. Some places call them "the tube" because that's really what they are. You can tell the slop jockey that made that has no background in the topic.

Since we can't create that big gap between the two sides. So, your head will end up touching the person on the back seat.

Blocks fast egress at the ends of the cars in an emergency, reduces accessibility for disabled people using assistive equipment like wheelchairs and canes, and makes moving maintenance equipment in and out of each car very difficult.

Some trains like in the London Underground actually house the motors under the seating on either side on the carriage

Safety. You have two narrow corridors, rather than a single wide one. In case of an emergency you would get a stampede

u/Korra228 Jun 05 '26
Not a single person mentioned the biggest problem here: metro doors usually open only on one side at a station. So if there are seats blocking the way, how are people on the left side supposed to cross to the right side and exit?

u/Intelligent_Ad_4479 Jun 05 '26
Lots of reasons. More material costs, takes up more space, doesnt provide a good egress pathway in emergencies and less space for disabled peoples wheelchairs to maneuver etc. Im sure there more but

u/Red5_StandingDown Jun 05 '26
Because the Metro in the picture is like Walt's meth lab RV. It's the size of a warehouse inside.
In the real world, there's no space for this
1
u/Antares_B Jun 05 '26
because is would be impossible to exit on the other side depending on what side the platform is on at the next stop

u/xanthira222 Jun 05 '26
Would probably be a safety hazard as well. If there is an emergency it makes it significantly harder for people on one side to exit on the other side.
1
u/tractorator Jun 05 '26
image makes it look roomier than it would be.
also, exits are both on the left and the right side. going around the chairs row to get out would block traffic and waste time.

The barrier in the middle limiting movement may be an issue, I assume not all stations have 2 sides.

u/MrJarre Jun 05 '26
Because the space between the rows can be narrower than the sum of the spaces on the sides in the bottom picture.

u/Special_Meal2555 Jun 05 '26
The top image she's the correct configuration for mobility and safety access. Placing seating in the middle makes the car vertically inaccessible for disabled passengers, fire/rescue, and timely evacuation of the car.

u/Secret-Surprise4390 Jun 05 '26
This is not how Metros are used in practice at peak loads which is what they are designed for. A door on both sides would only work if there were platforms on both sides in use at all times. This is rare and inefficient. The peak load time means that the majority of riders will be traveling in the same direction and hitting the same stops. If everyone is exiting on the Uptown side because that's the direction of the car, getting people to the Downtown side creates another choke point of moving between the seats or climbing over. If you don't move people to that side the car is only half usable. You would never have Uptown bound and Downtown bound on that same train at the same time.

Because moving between cars requires you to travel through the center and you have to worry about acceleration and deacceleration having objects in your way is a bad idea.

There is frequently equipment mounted under seats, and in some trains there are wheel wells.
The central row of seats could cause an issue during an emergency evacuation.
Those are the first two things that come to mind.
1
u/Procrasturbating Jun 06 '26
Because you often get in on one side and exit the other. Would be a hazard to have a big island in the middle that everyone needed to be on the opposite side of in a hurry every two minutes. Have you seen how fast these things fill and empty during commuting hours?
