BART, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit had cushioned, cloth covered seats and carpet for decades until only a few years ago.

Yeah, that was really gross. On the brighter side - random liquids got absorbed in place, rather than flowing all around the floor like they do now ;-). I suspect someone at BART is a vintage guitar buff, the grillecloth over ceiling speaker panels looks like it's from a '50s or '60s Fender tube guitar amp.
