Bloomberg's campaign announcement makes it seem like the will get all the R160s with CBTC Signalling. The has all the old cars now right? The can be made CBTC for only the express subway cars and the local will be R46? I take it by the time CBTC Will be implemented there will be enough R160's for the express line. express from Forest Hills to Manhattan would be nice with CBTC.
