Might be the one of the most controversial moves in NYC history if it happens


can't really happen

:manny:

they do it in some ways when they do night work and shutter lines on the weekends as it is but I think about the effects on business it would have, workers getting around/students/travelers(airports)

The economic loss would probably outweigh the repairs given the timeframe they project(15 years?)

Tour the MTA's new open-gangway subway cars in Midtown this week
A prototype will be on display at the 7 station at Hudson Yards

Thoughts of dread getting onto a NYC subway can be pushed aside in this opportunity to check out the MTA's shiny new prototype. The MTA announced that it will put its new class of subway cars on display, beginning today, with several opportunities for commuters to give feedback on their design. (h/t NY1)

The MTA has plans to roll out 10 different prototypes of open gangway trains by the 2020s. But the transit agency has said that if the prototypes prove successful, a full order of open gangway cars would not arrive until the late 2020s. (They’ll roll out on the lettered lines first.) And you shouldn't expect a full, system-wide change to take effect until the mid-2070s.

They continue to waste funding and expand capital projects instead of investing in upkeep and new signals. Smh

The proposed shutdown of the Subways at night would be combined with alternative bus service in the early AM Hours
