- SCARY COMMUTE: There are alarming new details from the MTA about doors opening on some moving subway cars.
The MTA says it was forced to pull its entire fleet of R179 subway cars, the newest model, the over ongoing door problems.
Both of these incidents happened on the southbound C train less than two weeks apart.
The MTA pulling the cars out of service is resulting in slower service for customers.
All of the cars in question are now undergoing inspection by the company who made the trains, Bombardier.
The MTA recently blasted the company for missed deadlines, poor car design, and construction methods.

So your telling me 1960's trains are better built than 20th century trains? Seems like we are going backwards
Blame Bombardier.
The older cars were built to last, like most older model things. The R62A that you may see on the 1 3 and 42nd st S were built in the 80s by Bombardier in the 80s and can still preform. MTA should hold on to them for dear life instead of dumping them into the ocean.
@@LamontDaGrizzly they probably won't due to CBTC.
LamontDaGrizzly also the 6
@@LamontDaGrizzly The R62A and R142s also had issues. The R179s were the last straw for them, as they banned Bombardier from bidding on the R211s.
They are expected to retire in 2025 to make room for new cars for the CBTC operation on the Lexington Avenue Line.
I was on the 6 train in the Bronx years ago where it runs on the EL outside about 30 or 40 feet about the street and the doors opened between stations on the right side with the street directly below. It was for about maybe 10 seconds then the doors closed again. But I think in that case it was conductor error.
Ride a Japanese or chineses company to take care of it. They will fix all systems fast and with no much cost. There is something wrong behind the scenes
CRRC (a Chinese subway car) has been controversial due to some spy issues.
Hopefully when Bring out the R211 They Have to Test them Carefully Before putting them into Service
Douglas Wells With Kawasaki’s history of delivering great quality cars, we will be fine.
Yeah Can wait for the R211 Hopefully some of them will go on the D line
Douglas Wells I ran the numbers for all 1612 cars for pending assignments, and it looks like that they may not be going to the D route.
So she stated that the doors opened four inches but not fully opened. When you pull the emergency door hatch on the top of doorway, the doors do not open fully they prop open and unlock from the device that hold the doors closed. You would have to manually open the doors all the way to escape, even when you pull the escape latch. The doors open 4 inches when this happens. So someone is pulling the emergency pull bar. Happens.
The emergency handles are not accessible to passengers on MTA subway trains, it looks like the mechanical locking mechanisms are unlocking by themselves, either they are poorly designed or not adjusted correctly, in either case, that's unacceptable.
Mountain Fox form what I just read that would be against regulations, all doors and windows have a latch. Otherwise that would be a non complying car.
@@kylefournier537no there is no hatch accessible, if you need to escape, go between cars
Rest in peace r179 scerw 2020
Bryan yku got a wrong R179 subway car is fixed already 2020
Don't blame MTA for this, Blame Bombardier becuase they made so many incidents.
I’m glad the R211’s are being built by Kawasaki
I am not gonna lean on those doors ever again
1:23 just if Boeing did this with the MAX plane
ManchesterBusPhotography Way more money in the aviation industry, No way Boeing would’ve owned up to it. Plus airbus had the edge on them and Boeing didn’t want to lose to their competitor. Of course it all backfired though
2 crash
Well Boeing has a lot of deaths but the MTA has 0 from this incidents. They are back in service now so yeah.
Oh wow everything looks so smooth in 60fps
America is so far behind in their Transit service compared to the rest of the world the transit service especially in New York City is the worst in the world as far as the cars and the tracks. It's not like Japan
For starters. This is not an American made subway car. So before you open your mouth and say this is the fault of American transit you are wrong
????
@@nyctenthusiast3507 America is still very behind The rest of the world in transit tho.
Interesting the dates it happened 12/24 and 1/3 lol.
I’m not good at math but I know those fractions aren’t equivalent
And TTC had almost the same door problem with their newer bombardier Toronto Rocket
I heard Bombardier retired the company and sold to Alstom instead because Bombardier had a issue company.
when I was at broadway junction it happens on the j train on the south bound december 28 2019 and on the z train on the north bound january 2 2020 at daytime when I was holding the door for everyboday
They should now be switching to Kawasaki rollingstocks. Bombardier is already outdated.
That’s scary if you on the door while the train is moving. Very dangerous. But I believe the MTA will handle those problems.
This was why the R179s were called “lemons”.
I Love The Subway car
Keep it together R179!!!!
Why didn't they just keep those 1960s cars in operation as they clearly still work. They could have spent all that money on track repairs then buy cars at a later date. Better service with new tracks would have brought in more revenue. 15 years overdue signal replacements. =(
R143 is good.
虞海 they were constructed by Kawasaki so yes they are indeed good.
虞 lel
When I was in the c the door open
So is this a bombardier problem?
I've imagined that happening.
but I'm happy the door is completed fix and repair on R179 subway cars and it also happens on the a train when I was there south bound kingston/throop avs on december 30 2019 at midnight and the c train on january 6 2020 on the north bound by holding the door for everybody
shouldn't be leaning on doors either way there a sticker big enough to read like come on
TRANSPORT
Sometimes you can't help that when the trains packed. But that's not the point. The doors shouldn't open by themselves anyway.
That is scarry so its not good to over full the trains
This is nothing new at all.... This can be done with every single train car in operation within the NYC subway. Native New Yorker, see it all the time.
So subway doors opening and subway cars detaching from each other while moving??? wtf?
Gremlins.
We need byford
Bombardier bombarded us with lemons. So ig it is time for some lemonade
What’s morning annoying is that the mta fares go up every year so you’d think w all that money they make they’d do a better job
Oh no! The lemon doors you mean
and this is why i jump the turnstile
Huh?
Some people was injured by riding between trains cars there's 8 people died in 2018 by riding between trains cars
Don’t do that 2 my boi R179
1960’s trains are cooler
The r179 are made from bombardier just like r142
r46 cars are way better than these new ones
If it’s COVID why still want to raise subway fare! ?
Huh?
I guess you dont get much for 2 million dollars a subway car
Lemon
Only the lemons
Remember the Red Birds. They should of kept those trains.
Is that a joke?
Plus why do you think they should’ve kept them when they’re clearly at the end of their life?
@@TheRailLeaguer It was more space on the train when it was crowded.
@@muhamedjones122 There’s still more space on the newer trains as well.
Sometimes old is better
They don't know hoento make tone if bombidiar trains got on fire
MTA wants $$$$$$ but we don’t see any improvements. Where are the police officers on Stations? There is no supervisor and cars are disgusting. They have lazy people working in the system. Worst service always
Blame Bombardier.
Not their fault.
Owner of MTA is dead
1:26 that guy looks kinda like putin
And we all know what came back! And only to be dead again
Im looking at you R32 ANS R42
New trains suck
wowwwwwwwwwww
ABC 7
Can’t blame MTA Fully they do say DO NOT LEAN ON DOOR DO NOT LEAN ON DOORS WHAT WE DO “LEAN ON DOORS” & cry wolf! No it shouldn’t happen but guess what it did💆🏾♀️
This is normal in India.
