>>1579823Depends on where you live, here in Stockholm we still use fabric on our seats for comfy, one could ofc argue that it's not too hygienic, but again the C20 trains here have been running since 1998, they hardly make any noise and remain incredibly smooth when it comes to acceleration and deceleration, an extra for passengers is that the seating is arranged in a 4×4 layout positioned in the direction of the train's movement allowing you to enjoy the scenery.
Green line trains are the best trains because they run above ground out of the metropolitan area.
