Posted by gOld_12th on Thu Jan 9 07:08:23 2020, in response to R-179 car saga... The entire fleet is Out of Service! AM rush hour...haha, posted by gold_12th on Wed Jan 8 00:31:10 2020. "Bombardier Transportation alerted the MTA last night that its analysis of two recent incidents, in which all passengers were safe, raised questions about the reliable operation of a door mechanism on their newly-delivered R179 cars. Out of an abundance of caution, NYCT removed all R179 train cars from service overnight for thorough inspection and re-deployed other spare cars to continue service for this morning's rush and ensure minimal impacts to customers.NYCT has brought on expert LTK Engineering Services for an independent third-party review of inspections of the cars. All lines are operating at normal levels with the exception of (J)/(Z) line, where the headways have been increased by two minutes in between trains for the AM peak period, and ship-stop service suspended. I commended the hard working men and women of New York City Transit for their efforts last evening. As documented, the MTA has identified repeated issues with Bombardier's performance and finds this latest development unacceptable. We intend to hold to hold the company fully accountable. We will provide updates as they become available." |
