Take this with an "occasional rider who doesn't mind standing grain of salt", but this configuration doesn't bother me. There are almost as many seats (4 less, IIRC), but more capacity for standing. Because the system in Calgary sees huge swells at rush hour, these cars are better equipped to handle the increase in riders. I'm not saying that you have to like 'em, though, and since they are seeking input you're probably not the only one that doesn't.
