Now instead of stenches being isolated to single subway car, everyone gets the experience!

Seems like the MTA should fix the smelling problem instead of kneecapping train capacity to isolate it

This is such a stupid complaint. Istg New York gets any kind of transit improvements we have been begging for and new yorkers throw a fit about it lmao

And yet so many people will use the same shitty stuff as a badge of honor.

Wait, you actually want change? “Real New Yorkers just deal with all this shit because we’re tough”

These train cars are a good idea in a society where there’s an expectation of order and decent behavior on public transportation, but since we’ve decided that doesn’t matter it’s not going to work out well.

Exactly. In Tokyo, where I grew up, I could travel on the subway by myself at the age of 9 and nobody so much as litters in the tracks let alone misbehave inside a train. We lack civility and decency in NYC, which is why this new type of train will be beset by people problems

The other day someone got on the train, knife in hand, and everyone from that car was able to leave that one and close off the door from him until the following stop where the police were waiting.

I think it makes the trains safer. No more being isolated from other passengers.

Thats not how it works , other countries have been doing this . NYC is following suit

Other countries also don’t put up with a sliver of the shit that’s allowed to occur in our subway system.

They are isolated cases , I see this as an improvement . But of course , not everyone is going to be happy. But we will get used to it

And this also gives the advantage to the conductor in case somebody is being unruly . Easier to deal with

I don’t know what you expect conductors to do that they’re not already doing.
