Except that they didn't. The benches are too narrow to sit on if you have a backpack, and there's no point in taking your backpack off unless you want to be a douche and occupy the whole bench, or put it on your lap.
Me, I'll just stand.
Public seating generally is badly thought out, and the only good stuff tends to happen by accident. The planters at Hurdman station, for example, are much better seats than the seats.
