I can sit in front in a “fake cockpit” and look out the front window.
But more importantly they run like clockwork, there’s often a new metro every 7min they arrive and leave exactly when scheduled.
I’m sure they also save money
realistically having a person onboard makes little difference at all to passengers (you regain a tiny bit of space at the front and end of each carriage segment where the driver usually sits - that’s about it). the argument is that they can run trains more frequently because the ongoing cost is lower so the only cost is an investment in rolling stock - generally seen as more viable because it’s an asset rather than just a cost
how does its full automation make it amazing to you?
