This paper describes experiments held as part of a project including features of the design of a carriage for a new line of the São Paulo City Subway System. It includes ergonomical aspects, related to the position of safety bars and seats, and statistical aspects, related to the flow of passengers from and to the carriage at the station. In this study, the use of the latin square procedure in multiple regression analysis is of particular interest being a way to reduce the size of the experiment.
