Around where I live, there are basically no seats in train stations anymore.
You get dropped off at a train station, the next train doesn't arrive for another hour, and there's nowhere to sit down.
Sitting on stairs or the ground is forbidden.
The only place with enough seats is a lounge area that you can only enter by scanning an expensive yearly subscription ticket that only makes financial sense for business travellers.
Or in a restaurant where you have to buy something to sit, of course.
