通勤時間的捷運車廂，乘客們常常擠得像沙丁魚，是許多通勤族每天的噩夢，北捷文湖線也將部分列車的座椅拆除，希望能增加空間、容納更多人上車。而人口密度極高的南韓首爾地鐵也將採取類似做法，首爾地鐵公司（Seoul Metro）日宣布，將在明年開始導入「無座位車廂」，移除車廂內的座椅，讓更多乘客能搭上車，將來再視成效決定是否要擴大此計畫。 據《SBS》、《MBC》報導，首爾地鐵公司1日宣布，將於明年1月份在地鐵的4號線和7號線，設立2節上下班尖峰時段的「無座位車廂」，透過取消所有座椅增加站立空間，來容納更多乘客。倘若無座位車廂試辦順利，此計畫將會擴大到更多地鐵路線。 根據首爾地鐵公司的數據，截至今年第3季，首爾地鐵4號線和7號線在尖峰時刻的載客率分別達到193%和164%，這意味著乘客人數最多會達到最大載客數的2倍。南韓民眾甚至把這種過度擁擠的地下鐵稱作「地獄鐵」，從字面意思就可看出通勤時段的慘烈程度，甚至有人表示連呼吸都很困難。 拆除座位後，4號線和7號線的載客率預計可分別下降到153.4%和130.1%。此外，首爾地鐵也設立了長期目標，要增加4號線和7號線的運行列車班次數量。不過要設立無座位車廂的消息傳出後，仍有民眾質疑搭乘狀況能否得到改善，「就算清空2節車廂（的座位），也只是讓更多月台上排隊的人搭上車，我想可能沒有太大的意義。」
