When I was in Japan I would always try to get in the front car so I could watch the conductors do their thing...it's super satisfying. Also was novel for me in general because the only other railways I've ever used back in the states made it difficult to see into the cab (not sure if tinted glass or poor lighting or what).
When the Helsinki subway was first introduced in the 80s you could see into the cab through windows in the back. Apparently they were covered up and later removed because passengers (mostly kids) wouldn't stop trying to bother and annoy the conductors
