Seoul's subway is trying something new to ease the crowded trains during busy times. They will remove the seats from two train carriages during the morning and evening rush hours. This is a test that starts in January. The subway in Seoul is one of the busiest in the world, and it's often very crowded.
On two of the busiest subway lines, called Lines 4 and 7, the trains are way too full. They are even more crowded than they should be. By taking out some seats, they hope to make more space for people. They think this will make the trains less crowded. They will test this for a while to see if it helps.
If it works, they might do it on more trains to make the subway more comfortable for everyone. So, if you ever ride the Seoul subway, you might see some trains with no seats!
