A Hokuso-Railway spokesman, commenting on a “right to sit down” service on a train during rush hour which was recently offered for sale — and since deleted — for ¥1,800 on the online flea market Mercari. The entry specified that the “vendor” would occupy a train seat before the buyer got on and vacate the seat when the buyer showed up.

If such an act is allowed, people who might normally be able to get seats would not be able to. We urge people not to offer such an item.
