Automatic walkover seats on Japanese interurbans from You Tube.  No manually flipping seats on those trains.

Does this bring back memories of my childhood. I remember going in to NYC with my Dad in the old cars and when we got off the train you could see the conductors flipping over the seats. Today on the LIRR, the seats are set, half go in one direction the other half in the opposite direction.
