but just entering the ticket number when doing a reservation would be so incredibly easy to add. as it is now, i can buy up seat reservations without even being on the train, forcing multiple people to stand.
It’s more complicated because there’s also time limited (or even unlimited) tickets/passes, but I agree it could be done.
Seat reservations expire 15 minutes after passing the station. By now all trains have those small displays on the seats which show reservations. They simply turn off after 15 minutes, indicating the seat can be taken by anyone.
The seat (more comfortable, more space) ist the main difference.
Of course they could check if you have a ticket at the time of purchase, they just don’t. When buying a seat reservation it’s clear it’s not a ticket.
