What do the red and green seats in the shinkansen mean?

[barrydanial]

@Symattra Well, that's a really good question. The red seats mean either reserved or unreserved seats, while the green seats are First Class (Green Car) seats.

[Symattra]

@barrydanial But why then the mixed usage of these cars? In Germany are most cars only first class or second class.

[barrydanial]

@Symattra Ah, that's just it, my friend. The Japanese use different colour liveries on their Green Car (First Class) seatings and ordinary class (second class) seatings.

[Symattra]

@barrydanial I think, every railcompany has its own definition in first and second class. But never the less, i just love japanese trains. Wish théy would run in Germany also...

[barrydanial]

@Symattra Yes, that's true. I must agree that they do.

@barrydanial What ? This response is a load of rubbish. Reserved seating is done by car number and has nothing to do with the colour of the seats. It's clearly marked on the outside of the car, the signs on the platforms and is announced as the train approaches. A car is entirely reserved or not and absolutely not mixed.

@Rocketboy1950 Well, there was one user who commented on this video and wanted to know what the colour of the seats mean. You might wanna send a message to him.

[Rocketboy1950]

@Symattra Not what that other bonehead told you. It means they are red or green. Reserved seat cars are separate from unreserved and ordinary and green cars are separate on shinkansens and many other trains but sometimes the green car is just a part of an ordinary car that is segregated off.
