553 Bridgeton Posted December 31, 2010 Share #51 Posted December 31, 2010 If every single train looks like the R160's, and R142's in the future you might see me choke in front of a subway platform. The fleet would lose all variety, and I would consider it the most ugliest subway fleet in history. The R142/A are ok imo. I just dont like how they are going off the R142/A design for all upcoming trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted December 31, 2010 Share #52 Posted December 31, 2010 30-40 years from now when theirs no SMEE fleet in service now I can imagine a 13 year old railfan saying "The R2**'s are garbage. The R160's were real trains!" lol And thats when you say... "Well the R38s were real trains" kid: "whats a R38" l0l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted December 31, 2010 Share #53 Posted December 31, 2010 The R40 slants will remain as unique, and it's obvious why. They were the real trains along with other old fleets. :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgor Posted December 31, 2010 Share #55 Posted December 31, 2010 WHY does everyone hate the new and modern trains?!? They tell you what time it is and it has an automated voice so you can actually hear what the next stop is instead of some conductor mumbling garbage out. You prefer those pieces of crap that smell like a hobo's ass that are running on the train? I had to ride the train with those disgusting cars every day last year to school. They feel like they're about to fall apart, sound like it as well, and it doesn't have the noise when the doors are about to close. I joined this forum not because I'm a transit nerd, but because I was interested about people's views on the subway and how lines run. This constant argument over wanting the old trains back in regular service just makes me want to puke sometimes. Technology moves on, you guys need to get out of the past.

Roadcruiser1 Posted December 31, 2010 Share #56 Posted December 31, 2010 Nope just because a train tells you the time doesn't mean it's cool. You could put a regular clock in an R32, and it would still be a clock telling you the time, and there is no need for automated voices, because it's better to listen to someone say something once in a while then something mechanical. Also they can just put air freshners in a subway car, and it would smell as good as new. Besides those NTT's would fall apart someday anyway then we will see what car is cool. It might be off topic, but if someone builds on something from the past like a new Titanic do you think they would put a digital clock on the Grand Staircase. I don't think so I would put regular Crown, and Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if a train doesn't have a clock? Carry a watch!! And so what if the train doesn't have door chimes? It's called "stand clear of the closing doors", regardless!!! And so what if a train lacks a FIND display? it's called knowing where you're going and being patient! Read a book to kill time instead of watching the FIND or the clock because that's not gonna speed up your trip any faster. If I like the older trains then guess what? I like the older equipment and that's not gonna change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a watch and a phone, ipod ect, who needs a train to tell you the time? And who needs a train to tell you the next stop. 98% of people that ride doesnt listen to them. The 2% that does listen to them are the tourist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted December 31, 2010 Share #59 Posted December 31, 2010 The NTT's FIND's are not that reliable most of the time, as they have glitches. Nothing is expected to be perfect in this world. Plus, the exterior design is criticized as bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ride the train I don't feel safe taking out my smart phone to check the time. And in the mornings now when I take the or it's literally impossible to take out your phone to check the time without bumping into 10 other people, assuming you're not on top of them already. And you're saying that it would be just as good for the train to be completely silent of any announcements than to hear an automated one? How about when you're going on a long ride on a train and you don't feel like counting the amount of stops that passed or don't feel like looking at the signs outside every station?
