Seats and racks in parts of some underground train carriages in South China's Guangzhou city were stripped to fit in more rush-hour commuters, Guangzhou Daily reported.

The changes have been made to 29 trains running between 15 different stations on Guangzhou Metro Corp's Line 3, in Guangdong province, which carried 1.62 million every day last month.

The removal of a small area of seating and passenger racks at the ends of some carriages means each train can now comfortably hold an extra 46 passengers, while during the rush-hour periods ? when passengers are tightly packed together ? a total of 78 extra passengers can be accommodated.
