If this were a movie I would bash it for being too cliché.

Amazing tournament, amazing game.

I fucking love baseball.

IND was owned and operated by the city

Very true, I totally overlooked that. It seems like the R211 with all options is 1,567 according to Wikipedia, feels like they should tack on an extra ~250 cars to finish out the rest of the fleet

>N/Q/W - will be receiving hand-me-down R68s from the above to replace their R46s all this while.

I bet you're right, I always mix up which lines are getting CBTC next.

Looks like though if they exercise all options they would be able to replace all the R68/As too, which I'm sure they will as I think after the future R262s the entire fleet would either have provisions or already have CBTC installed

B and D line trains won't be replaced until the end of the decade at the earliest, but mid 2030s is where I'd place my money. 1, 3, and 6 trains are slated to be replaced next, hopefully by the end of the decade

> 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.

Lower ridership for now, longitudinal seating is never coming back.

Also construction started before COVID even hit, it was way too late to change the design even if they wanted to.

N should get these eventually, the initial order is going to A/C trains iirc

F/G/R have R160s which still have decades of service life left

It's possible to appreciate multiple sports

Lmao what's the asterisk for this time

Important note: it was illegal for the sake of player safety, it didn't give Maldonado a competitive advantage
