Butterfly Flexible Seating Solutions installs convertible motorcoach seats on Tshiuetin Rail Transportation, North America’s first Indigenous-owned railway, enhancing passenger experience with 3-in-1 functionality. The modular design is ideal for long-haul routes like the 12-hour journey across Quebec and Labrador. Operators can now dynamically plan fleets based on route demand.
The seating system’s versatility transcends transportation modes, providing comfort and efficiency on regional trains. Butterfly’s adaptable design meets community needs and adds value for both passengers and operators. This innovative seating solution is part of a comprehensive refurbishment programme by Canadian Railway Services for Tshiuetin Rail Transportation.
Funded by the Canada Infrastructure Bank, the project aims to improve passenger comfort and inclusivity. Collaborations with Rail GD and Morelli Design Transport ensure a culturally sensitive approach. Butterfly’s adaptable methodology could shape the future of passenger experiences, as rail operators reevaluate their long-distance service strategies.
