well I guess the kids are supposedly "at school". Many parents are unbelievably irresponsible. People already were surfing off the back of the R211T. This nonsense is getting out of hand.

4190-4199 is burn in testing right now.

Yeah some conquestors apparently broke into the back cab of one of them and changed it to an L program (it got taken out of service).

Sounds like an R211T is debuting on the C today (probably 4040).

4165-4169 according to someone.

They might fix other things or make improvements too, maybe higher quality signage and announcements and things like that.

I am assuming that this is fake, unless anyone can confirm otherwvise. (Unable to link but it basically says that the R211T will only be able to run on the C). If this is true, I assume option 2 will not contain gangway cars either.

They are common enough that one can wait half an hour at Penn or something and find one

Not as far as I know, though I may be mistaken.

I think the MTA timeline said April-September, give or take.

Is 4085-4089 paired with 4090-4094 then?

Caught an R160 on the B an hour ago. Was running fine.

As a somewhat regular A train rider the R211 is a big improvement. They are smoother, have better lighting, have better rush hour capacity, much better announcements (even if they are underwhelming), better signage, and they generally go faster. I do agree about the seating issue though, but them starting to retire is probably for the best.

My friend saw 4119 supposedly. Was it testing or actually in service?

Well, a month is 30.4 days or 4 weeks and 2.4 days, so every two weeks is different from twice a month. Not sure which one the MTA will do but every two or three weeks makes sense if they plan to do two trains a month.
