Ever sat backwards on a train? Or first class in a plane? It doesn't matter if you're not driving.

  I know a lot of folks who get car sick sitting backwards in busses.

  As was already said, some people get sick. Also, many more people prefer to be facing forward on a train. I know I personally do. Sure, I can handle facing backward with no problems, but I just prefer facing forward.

    I much prefer facing backwards, because I know in the rare case of crash that I am going to be much safer. This is also true of aircraft and cars and buses and coaches. Sadly, most people do feel uncomfortable facing backwards and so the risky forwards-facing seating is used.

      I really don’t think that kind of risk mitigation is of much utility.

        It would save many lives in cars.
