Why replace most regular seats with massage seats

On the west side of the north area of the waiting hall, there are three rows of ordinary seats with only three or four empty seats. Roughly speaking, there are only over 60 ordinary seats out of nearly 500 seats in the entire waiting hall, while the rest are massage chairs.
The reporter noticed that the massage chair brand is "Mohedle", with the words "Free seating, QR code massage" written on it. By scanning the QR code of a regular massage chair, it was found that the massage package is divided into three levels, with a minimum of 8.8 yuan for a massage of ten minutes and a maximum of 15.8 yuan for a massage of 32 minutes; The premium massage chair costs a minimum of 15 yuan for 15 minutes and a maximum of 30 yuan for 45 minutes.

"It's not humanized. I think ordinary seats should be more than massage seats, because massage chairs are relatively large and occupy more area than ordinary chairs. If you add one more massage chair, you will have to remove the corresponding ordinary chair, which will occupy the public waiting resources." A lady Xu from Qingdao said that after climbing Mount Taishan Mountain, she was ready to return. Because she did not see the seat, she sat on the ground.
Another passenger said, "When not massaging, the massage protrusion inside the seat is very uncomfortable, which hurts the back and is not suitable for sitting for a long time waiting for the bus."
"Similar scenarios also exist in our city," many passengers said. "This is a manifestation of the excessive commercialization of the station. If not paid, passengers are easily hurt by the protruding points on the seats, causing back pain."
The massage chair enters the waiting room and provides differentiated services for passengers in need to choose from. This is understandable in itself. The function of the massage chair is also to provide passengers with a comfortable waiting experience. However, from the feedback of passengers, the massage chair in the waiting room repeatedly makes passengers feel uncomfortable.
A staff member at Tai'an Station said, "I just consulted with my superior unit, but currently, we are unable to respond."
