Love how these trains are designed and purchased by people who probably don't regularly ride the subway. Vertical grab bars are once again near the doors, blocking people coming on and off. Horizontal grab bars are set in too far, making then only reachable by people 5'7" and above. Same experience as the existing R trains.

You don't love shoving your genitals in people's faces when trying to reach the horizontal bars?

I don’t have a problem with that. I have a problem with avoiding the bottom of the shoes of people who cross their legs to make space from said genitals. I don’t want the bottom of soles that have just trodden on the gross subway platform to touch my pant leg.
