I can relate. We, in Indonesia, have a problem where politicians, whose never even ride a train before, gets to decide the policies about public transport, and those who gets the consequenece is low-middle class who uses public transport. There was a meme from a year ago where a tone-deaf politician says the overcrowded trains in Jakarta doesn't exist even though it overcrowding is clearly a problem in regional line (KRL) due to lack of trains.
Assuming we're talking about short distance trains, absolutely no, lol. It's just space inefficient. I will understand if it is a long distance trains, and it is a thing.
Short-distance city trains used to have multiple compartments too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_Door_(train) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris_(train)
I assumed the parent commenter meant this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartment_coach
But if the commenter meant cross-seat trains like this:
then yeah it exists
Yes.... it's the first one? Did you not look at the links I shared?
Things like the "C-Trains" in Calgary, despite being intended for mass transit (and ridden mainly by the poors) are also multi-compartment.
