Too good to be true? A reader sent along this photo with news that new trains have appeared along the C line. As he reports, “all of a sudden last week I started seeing new trains on the C line… There are still old trains periodically.” As many Brooklyn residents are well aware, the C line is consistently rated one of the worst lines in the entire city. In the spring of 2012, the MTA announced that new trains were coming for the line, but said it would take a full four years to happen. We couldn’t find any news regarding the new trains coming early, but it’d be a welcome surprise if it’s happened so soon. What did this morning’s commute look like for C-train riders?
The “old” trains are better because the cars are designed for riders where sitting or standing in comfort is important. The new cars’ configuration is designed based upon square footage and packing in as many riders as physically possible, comfort be damned.
and those damn bright lights. ugh.
the quality of the trains is hardly the issue with the C line. its the waiting 15 minutes during rush hour for one to show up while 5 E trains pass by. that is the problem!!!
Still old C’s this morning. Rode a new one this weekend but figured was bc C was running on F line in Manhattan.
