Latest subway cars roll into service, start their journey on the A line

Curious how this will turn out.

Either

1. It will be great to spread out crowded cars.

2. You will not be able to escape the smell of homeless gout and creepy men following you.

Glad they brought back the large, colored route bullets on these. Looks cool and is more legible.

When the IRT opened, the Mayor was given the honor of operating the first train. The engineer and the IRT president were in the cabin, trying to find the right words to inform the mayor his speed was unsafe without pissing off this politically important figure. Supposedly he was like a child with a new toy, and refused for a short while to yield control. What were they going to do, kick him out?

I'd like to see Adams or Hochul operate the inaugural trains. Not cause I like them, but because I'd like to see it established as a historical tradition. A nice perk of the office. "Actually get something upgraded, and we'll let you play with the trains for an hour."

So 5-10 years before it gets to the FGNR lines?

I was on the inaugural ride. By accident. I was taking my baby to the doctors office (he’s fine). I didn’t think the train was so great

It's a cool looking train design. It's a shame that these trains probably won't come into the Bronx anytime soon 😅

I didn’t see it at all wait for a friend at 125 st and none passed by
