 Station Massage Chairs Rub Netizens Wrong Way

China's railway stations have been ordered to ensure that pay-to-use massage chairs in waiting areas account for no more than 20 percent of the total seating, after photos of a packed waiting area filled with massage chairs caused a stir online.

According to China State Railway Group, the national railway operator, the number of pay-to-use massage chairs should not exceed 20 percent of the total seats and they should be placed in waiting areas in locations that do not disturb or block the way of passengers.

Pictures posted online recently showed a railway station in Taian, Shandong province, where 90 percent of the 500 seats were massage chairs, prompting the ire of netizens.
