Did Siemens expand on this during the DDR?

The perch seating is going to be a really nice addition in areas where people usually stand today, however, there will be a trade-off in the W/C areas.
Benefits- When the benches were folded up, people were hesitant to unfold them. With the perch seating pads, the space can easily be utilized when no strollers, wheelchairs, or luggage is present.
- The space can be used as storage space for things like luggage during off-peak periods as, without any seating, it would most likely be unoccupied.
- It's comfy for standing passengers.
Cons- Less seating in a desirable area.
- Passengers with luggage/strollers will be forced to stand.
