> No one needs open gangways between cars. We know to spread out on the platform.

The point of open gangways is to cram more people into the train

>No one needs red and green light indicators to warn of the train's departure. It's the subway, not the LIRR.

The door lights are an accessibility feature.

>Wider doors just mean fewer seats.

Wider doors means more people can move through them, hopefully lowering time the train spends in the station. That's the idea anyway.

>"Additional accessible seating" - how many wheelchair bound people will be in one train car? Between poor elevator coverage and wheelchair bound active adults being a small percent of the population, I think the current cars have enough flip up seats or space at the ends.

This is a joke. The amount of accessible stations is only going to go up. The accessible seating is flip-up so...???

>"Brighter lighting and signage" - hopefully not compared to the more recent trains. They're already as bright as the sun compared to the older models still running on the R line.

Hard to argue that point, they should change the color temperature of the lighting to a more warmer one.
