It would help to promote cycling, and there seem to be lots of people who don't mind standing for several stops, and without the seats you may not lose much capacity overall. You'd lose some with the bikes but gain some with more standers. Just a thought.

I've been wondering the same thing. If it was up to me, the 4th car would have basically no seats but twice the number of doors. Make it easy to get bikes and strollers onto the train or really be able to cram people in when needed.
