The NYC subway is the worst subway I have ever take. Best experience (IMO) 1- Madrid's Subway 2- Guangzhou (China) Subway 3- Hong Kong's Subway 4- London's Subway 5- Shenzhen ( China ) Subway ....2346- NYC

You could put wings on this train for all i care, it's still running in a system and rails from the 70s.

Improvements are coming kid relax🙄 keep up to date with the New improvements MTA has made throughout the years

[@squirrelsarepeopletoo6678]

1870's?

[@heic1971]

@@nyctransitrailfan lol NYC MTA has been running the red light green light system for 60 years and still made no changes. Reason for so many delays is because nobody know if there is a train ahead or behind. I’ve traveled all over Europe and Asia and used their systems , NYC is the embarrassment of the world. Few years ago the city found missing millions in their book keeping, the money is going in to their luxury condos and yachts, the city has pay off other people to cover it all up. These “new” trains is like a bandaid after your got your head chopped off.

[@Copics1]

@@nyctransitrailfan The "New Improvements" does not translate to better service, so it's useless.... They also threw in billions that could used to upgrade the system in to building Fulton street station, wanting to turn it in to a new Grand central station. I can't be more embarrassed when tourist ask me why some stations is the way it is. By the time of 2050, they'll still be running the same system, we'll be lucky if the "new" trains have USB 2 plug ins.

@@heic1971 CBTC is on the way man, it will replace the old Signal Blocks. Some lines already have it, look at the 7 and L lines, they have this new Technology. It improved service on those lines, right now, the MTA is working to include CBTC on other lines, the Queene Blvd Line, Culver Line, and 8th Avenue Lines will receive this

Forever love the old models

[@BryantStarr88]

Wow I can't wait for this new train to give me the same delays

[@cbsrandoms4669]

and the same ole urine smell.

[@jamestran2056]

you can make all the changes to the subways cars all you want... its the riders that make the experience and that will never change.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Out of 1977 and into 1990 with these new generation NY subway sets. Just add yellow grab poles.

[@scuba130]

hopefully they add a few more cameras, seen the one on top. also need some type of rails system to protect people from getting thrown on the tracks.

[@enigmatube6946]

Before giving the people non Avant garde trains, make sure they come on time, clean the dirty stations, reduce crime, homeless and panhandlers and keep the prices affordable before investing billions and taking our taxes and money for most low income area in NYC not even having a train nearby.

[@nyctransitrailfan]

Newer trains is important for the new Signaling system soon to be added on most lines, some already have them like the 7 and L trains

[@jackdurden2483]

Hope these finally have surveillance cameras.

[@BenTheMiner]

They do! If you look at the MTA's photo account on Flickr, you can see pictures of the interior which have cameras.

[@deebee4575]

@@BenTheMiner how will that keep the homeless from setting up camp in them?

[@BenTheMiner]

@@deebee4575 I don't think it will prevent it from happening at all, but it will allow personnel/police to respond to them. As far as I know, if they somehow have a means to pay the fare, they can pose as a normal commuter up until they enter the train.

[@deebee4575]

@@BenTheMiner You know they don’t pay fares in most cases, right? They simply duck under or jump over the turnstile with bags full of stinking crap. As you know, the liberal mayor made it so that jumping a turnstile is no longer a crime.

[@BenTheMiner]

@@deebee4575 Really? Well, that's a problem, they should reverse that decision...

those can't be done because of how we have cars of varying lengths and door spacings

[@urbanbeliever8528]

Would you and those you know be willing to embrace a fare hike to cover the hundreds of millions of dollars it would take to outfit everyone of the 468 subway stations throughout NYC with these special barriers? Yeah, I thought not.
