"Too many here describe the #7 train as if it were some over-crowded little row-boat pulled by two guys working the oars and then describe the N or Q trains as if they were Queen Mary sized luxury liners able to carry multiple millions! "Nonsense. No one here said or implied anything like that. They just stated the facts, IRT cars are smaller than BMT/IND trains. You're analogy is way over the top. "Somehow the #7 train is fine, just fine for delivering millions to baseball games, tennis games, and the like - just fine for commuters. But somehow for helping to take folks to the airport - it is "defective"? (Please note the angry sarcasm!)" No argument here with that. But there is no denying that airport travelers travel with a shitload of baggage whereas commuters, baseball & tennis patrons do not, hence the need for bigger cars. There must be a reason that Artrain equiptment was not built to IRT specs |
