The Flying Carpet is a simple airplane boarding system designed to save airlines money and enhance passenger experience. It enables passengers to arrange themselves in row order easily with a minimum of fuss before proceeding to the airplane, so each of them can go directly to their seats unimpeded.? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9A9wOJKlqo
Melbourne trains should be reconfigured to align more closely to trains running in cities like New York and Hong Kong that cater for significantly higher volumes of commuters each day.
By removing the five seats placed across the width of each carriage and replacing them with bench-like seats against the internal sides, additional space will be freed-up in the middle where handrails could be installed.
This would enable more people to travel on each train; speed-up on-boarding and exiting time; improve adherence to schedules; and support the efficiency of the entire rail network.
