They are so slippery. The driver did an emergency stop today. I slid almost off the bloody seat! 
And they are very cold in winter.
Maybe you can get an āAboā via your handy: 12.00/month for seat-heating in the tram.

Both supporters and opponents find the wooden seats to be too slippery. Smaller people in particular are bothered by the front edge of the seat. Many of those surveyed urgently expect āan ergonomic improvement in wooden seats.ā BVB is now devoting itself to āsound seat developmentā with several suppliers with the aim of improving ergonomics and slip resistance.
If you slip off your seat I will swiftly take it over

Invest in a pair of rubber trousers?

Ever considered moving to Bern? Soft and comfy textile tram seats:
Textile takes much more to keep clean than a hard surface, whether thatās wood or plastic. Good luck removing spills of any from textiles, let alone vomit or the butyric acid produced by milk, butter, etc that turns bad.
or chose a seat riding backwards. A sudden brake will keep you on your seat.

I like the design element on the seats of there being a space for the ZVV Logo and placard, but it is left unadorned. A lovely little touch.
provided the seat has a headrest, otherwise the body stays in place while the head keeps moving. now the complain would be about whiplash 
I think omtatsatās head could take that.
Iāll grab my coat ā¦
The same thing happened again today. Emergency stop and I had to hold onto the seat to stop sliding off. This VBZ should be taken to court! Pity I donāt have a million or two sitting in the bank. Then I would bring a case against them.
Iām more worried about all these emergency stops lately.
What happened to the ātram always has right of wayā? I mean itās not that trams come out of the blue on unpredictable paths.
a truck turned into the path of the tram.
You must have had your pratt magnet turned on.
On both occasions I was wearing my new raw denim jeans. They seem to slip more than normal.
In addition to the slippiness and hardness, there seem to be less seats - and they feel smaller.
Not an improvement in the UX, from my opinion.
Kind regards

Yes they are smaller. THe Swiss are small people.
But 25% of the users are not Swiss. Plus the tourists.
So no excuse.
Seems strange less seats plus smaller? So they can squeeze in more people in the standing room? Sounds comfi.
