We are about to enter a new era: that of the super priority seat. The Yokohama municipal subway has just announced their ¥4 million mission to add these seats. What are "super priority seats?" No one has said. Perhaps they're for VIP elderly? The 100-and-over crowd? The only thing that has been revealed is that the start date is undecided and that the new seats will be in cars where cell phones use is prohibited. Um, isn't that all cars?
Makes you wonder if they're not going to use those carriages for something special, like karaoke. The super priority seats are front-row seats with microphones.
Keep in mind that this is the same subway operator that designated all its seats "priority seats." Having failed to make a dent in the mentality of subway riders, however, they are now going to hit them with super priority seats. Whatever they are.
