A place to talk about New York on Farcaster

Took one of the new R211A subway cars. Did anyone ever actually sit in the seat? Extremely uncomfortable. If I had to ride the subway everyday for more than 10 minutes, I would be sending letters to the MTA to immediately change seat production back to the old model. Car lighting also horrendous, sunglasses.

I can conceptually buy and understand why they shrunk the seating space to make room for crowding and easier entry and exit. Why they made the seats so uncomfortable…?

Old | new doorways

Reduced seats to make room near doorways for congestion. New layout feels out of proportion, and strange for long / off peak riders.

As mentioned, currently installed seats are extremely uncomfortable anyway. Should scrap them all and made it standing only if they don’t fix the lumbars and seat angle.

I saw it on the A but C also has some new ones

A and C lines right now. There are three new car types

“R211A and R211T cars for the subway and R211S cars for the SIR. The R211Ts employ open gangways between cars, allowing passengers to see and walk through the entire length of the train – a feature not present on the subway's other rolling stock”

I cannot believe they approved this new design

this reads like a curb your enthusiasm plot
