Japan Train! High Tech!

you're not kidding!

this train is probably a reserved seat train.
The packed ones you have probably seen video of are unreserved.

it seems an expensive P.I.T.A. In the U.S. you just grab the built in handles in the corner of the seat back and flip it forward or back whenever you want in a fraction of the time, it's just a whole lot more efficient.

when the acceleration is too high your blood pressure increases with the train direction which would lead to loss of conscious, This train was designed to circulate the blood into your body during the acceleration phase.
This must be a very very fast train

the train goes one direction to the end, then the seats turn around and the train travels back the way it just came.

check out the transatlantic train on discovery channel extreme engineering, its designed the same way to nutralize the high velocity of the train

you must be Japanese.

Japanese too...so desuka?

Waste -- not, cost more for crew time to flip the seats, plus Japan's notorious labor shortage.

the passengers can flip their own seats, or leave them be.

the train will go back in the other direction... thats why... duhh

the dude is right
