Seoul to start experimenting with subway cars with seats in the middle instead of next to the window

This resembles some of the ideas I’ve had while standing in a crowded subway here, so it will be interesting to see it in practice. According to this page, eight cars of this type will be made by the end of the year, so very limited so far – a single train is composed of twelve cars, I believe. Passengers standing will also have a bar by the window to make standing more comfortable, and looking at the image it seems to be located just above the window.
