My first R211 ride

Posted by Andrew Saucci on Thu Jan 23 20:16:56 2025

I haven't been using the subway much of late, but yesterday I finally got to ride on an R211 on the A. It's great if you're a fan of advertising, extra flashy lights, and the like. Other than that, it was a basic NTT car. At least it got me from W 4 St to Penn Station New York in a reasonable amount of time.

I really wish they'd get past the NTT era and get something with a fresh look and layout.

The "crush load" requirement sort of limits the layout in a 60' vehicle.

Pretty much. It’s all about optics
