Manage episode 463647664 series 1538108
The MTA is in the process of replacing its oldest subway trains. Those are the ones with the vintage looking orange and yellow seats. They’re replacing them with its newest trains - the “futuristic” looking ones that are currently running on the A and C lines. But some riders say they like the seating arrangement of the old trains that allows couples to cozily sit next to each other in the two or three seat configurations.
WNYC's All Things Considered producer Elizabeth Shwe talked with some commuters on their thoughts on the old trains.
Also, New York Transit museum curator Jodi Shapiro and museum director Concetta Bencivenga talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about the history of the R46 trains.
