Turkish train cars in which passengers sit are of two types.

European-style compartments for up to six persons. Passengers sit on two bench seats facing one another, three seats on each side. One side faces toward the front of the train, the other toward the rear. A dozen compartments line one side of the train car, each compartment with a window to the outside and a door to the access corridor on the other side.

American-style Pullman seats are individual reclining seats, two or three on each side of a central aisle, all facing in the same direction toward the front of the train, with common windows on both sides of the car.

Turkish trains use both types, although the newer, better trains use the Pullman-style cars.
