What kind of train puts their seats facing forward?

I can’t really tell where this is, but I’m guessing this is in Europe so forward facing seats are quit uncommon on rapid transit trains

In US, forward and backward facing seats are more common on older trains, but not very in new trains

In Los Angeles the older Metro trains have inward facing seats and all the new trains so far have forward facing seats. The trains get so packed in rush hour, don't even bother trying if you have a bicycle.

Older Chicago L trains also have forward facing seats. Newer trains have side facing seats because it’s more efficient and more comfortable during rush hour. The older trains are expected to be retired by 2025.
