In Montréal, the learned from Toronto and got the rubber bellows between gcxars to be flush with the oustide skin of cars so that in station, it prevents people/objects from falling through between cars. Would have expected everyone else to do it this way instead of still being forced to put tiny chains in the hopes of preventing people to fall through gap between cars (though that gap may not be large enough for whole person to fall though, it is likely enough to get leg stuck and delay service, especially with blind people)

How did he know it was coming to that station at that point of time ?

good looking train hope it is comfortable

Yay 🙌😁😊✋🤚👍🎉🥳 The R211A And R211T! Let's Go!

Nice! I wonder when the second set will arrive

how is it that you find out about when stuff like this is happening that youre able to be there and record? Genuinely curious

Now that is pure quality you got there 👌

Do you know when its gonna release?

I love it

This new bus looks really cool

🔥🔥

These R211T subway trains need to come asap.

Very cool.

Is that Jamaica ave?

I swear on my life I need to ride that train car and take a picture cuz it looks nice

Nice

I believe that the R211T with the open gangway parts between the cars will work out fine. However, I hope the R211A cars will have open gangways.

It gotta have charging ports like the new model blue mta bus

Will it be in service in 2024

On the bright side, at least cops can't give ppl tickets no more for crossing between train doors lol

Is my playing tricks on me but is this model train car shorter than the current model train car?

Logical R211 Car assignments Base Order (440 cars) Most cars in the Base order are going to the A and C to retire 356 R46's at Pitkin Yard; the exceptions are the 75 R211S for Staten Island Railway and the 20 R211T pilot trains with open gangways. The A will keep their 10-car R179's. Option Order 1 (640 cars) The 640 cars in 1st Option Order around 40 of them are going to Pitkin Yard for service expansion on the A and C. The Rest of the 600 cars are going to Jamaica for the E and F. Since Queens Boulevard is the busiest corridor in the B Division, the design of the R211's with higher total capacity and wider doors are ideal for those lines. 570 R160's will go to Concourse and Coney Island for B and D Service, adding 30 extra cars for service expansion. All R68's and R68A's which cannot be retrofitted for CBTC, will be relegated to Coney Island to run on the N, Q and W lines, as Broadway will be the sole remaining corridor without CBTC; however this adds 72 cars in the process, also allowing for service expansion. Jamaica will be left with 720 R160's, adding 30 cars for service expansion on the E, F, G, and R lines (There aren't enough R211's yet to make Both the E and F 100% R211's, so R160's will be used on either or both.) Option Order 2 (405 cars in 5-car units) The 5-car units in the 2nd Option order, 195 cars will go to the C, with 110 of them pushing out the 88 R179's to the J and making all C trains full length at 10-cars each, and the remainder adding 85 more cars for further service expansion on the A and C. The rest of the 210 cars are going to Jamaica, 120 of them to make the E and F 100% R211's, and the remainder adding 90 more cars for service expansion on those two lines. Meanwhile, 60 more R160's are pushed out to Concourse for further B and D expansions. The Remaining 660 R160's at Jamaica are enough to also make all G trains full length at 10-cars each, and the remainder adding 155 cars for service expansions on the G and R lines. Option Order 2 (32 cars in 4-car units) All 4-car sets in the 2nd Option Order, 32 in total, are going to East New York for the M line. 88 R179 cars coming from the C will also provide service expansion; the J won't need to borrow from the L line as much, allowing them to keep more of their 276 R143's and R160's cars already configured for the unique CBTC system used there, of which there is more than enough, so they don't need new trains. To Wrap up: A/C/Rockaway Park Shuttle: 130 R179's (A Only) 695 R211's B, D: 630 R160A-2's E, F: 790 R211's G, R: 660 R160B-'s J/Z: 188 R179's, 40 R160A-1's L: 212 R143's, 64 R160A-1's M: 268 R160A-1's, 32 R211's N/Q/W: 416 R68's, 200 R68A's. May use a small amount of R160's During weekends when the B is not running. With these assignments the R211's can go to lines with the high ridership like Queens Boulevard Due to the wider doors and large capacity while other lines that have lower volume routes like Concourse and Coney Island get the displaced R160's from Jamaica Yard it makes no sense to assign the higher capacity cars onto lower volume routes while constantly overcrowded routes with no room to add additional trains are stuck with trains cars with lower capacity plus with the remaining R160's at Jamaica Yard we can make G trains run full length cars and provide service expansion for Both the G and the R lines

No passenger but homeless still on the train

The train looks nice from the front.. but the sides look the same as the old lol.. don't know why they dont make it look futuristic lol

AYOOO same propulsion

Wowwww same propulsion like the r211a

It looks like you can walk from one car to other without opening the door

Seems like the R211A & the R211S are going to be the production cars, while 20 of the R211T cars will act or are indeed Prototypes.

1:23 what station is that?

@1:24

wow america's first open gangway. thank you nyc

Train system still be slow, new trains just means higher fares an me wanting to get a car 😤

Sleek

The MTA testing brand new train cars but at 1:56 I already see a homeless bum sleeping in one of the cars......and I'm not surprised

The homeless look forward to new luxury train cars very soon!!!!

Look a homeless man already sleeping on the train now every train cart gonna smell bad idea for taking away the sliding doors

LOOKS AWESOME🤟🤟🤟🚇🚇🚇🚇

Man how I wish that all of New York City’s trains had open gangways on them but in all actuality we know the MTA is not going to do that so wishful thinking on that one 😒
