Hi, I just wanted to double check: if I have a green car pass, but didn't have time to reserve a seat before I board, can I simply go on the non-reserved seats in the ordinary cars, or do I absolutely have to take the green cars?
Thanks!

Hello there,
Yes, you can take any non-reserved seat. That would, of course, be a waste but nevertheless is an option.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
