The NEX conductors have a slick little PDA that they use to see what seats are reserved and which seats are not. Thus, they only approach folks that move from their assigned seat (once heading out to NRT the conductor went right up to the one seat on his map that wasn't assigned and collected the fare, then marked it as locked on his PDA).
