| SUBJECT | Subject: [Hangout - NYLXS] The MTA's new cattle cars
|
We can tank the MTA for getting new trains that are both poorly designed
and don't have enough seats.
When the new IND cars came out in the 1970's we were rather amazed. The
were more comfortable, with seats in L formations allowing for more
seating and for conversation, without sizably affecting standing room.
They were a modern miracle.
They are being retired by new cars with larger doors and far fewer
seats, lined up against the walls and poles set up right in front of the
doors. This is an MTA more interested in moving LIVESTOCK that the
stafety and comfort of passangers. Which is the gift of Congestion
Pricing, where the MTA does whatever the hell it wants without
consideration for the public. There is no public control or market
driving it to behave responbily.
