Heck, every train for that matter, unless you're doing sideways seating for capacity reasons

Rear facing seats are actually safer. The issue with rear facing is motion sickness.

okay, but on the other hand i don't think regular trains can stop fast enough for safety to be a problem, or they certainly don't usually do

but it's good for group rides so you can face the homies

Except when we're talking safety, it includes crashes. Which is when Trains do stop very abruptly.
