@@mariahrivera2210 Transportation to and from work IS a survival necessity just like food and rent… That $2.90 also goes towards New Yorkers who work for the MTA and feel the same economic pressures.
It's great MTA is replacing yellow-and-orange seats with newer yellow and blue seats. However, the blue seats should have the same pattern as these yellow-and-orange seats along with added arm rest in between each seat. That way to prevent laying across or taking up more space than necessary.
First time on the London Underground we were astonished by not only padded seats, but armrests between seats! Of course here, we’d have news stories of fights over “that’s my armrest!”
@@joermnyc I like the idea of also having padded seats. It's better than sitting on hard plastic. I never traveled on the London underground so I wouldn't known it was the norms.
Ya both def don’t take these trains as frequent to notice, don’t be fooled homeless people def sleep on those orange seated trains especially on the A, 1 and 6 trains
Leave the seats alone. Changing the colors out of boredom. They're not falling apart. The seats are fine the way they are. Can't the money be used for something more practical?
I love those back to back seats cause they're the only trains that always have available seats. I never like those new bench seats cause there never any available seat.
At least with R211s we still get to have different color seats and not just 100% blue seats. And at least the blue seats on the R211s are a different shade of blue compared to the other NTT train light blue seats.
Note: only the R46s are meant to be removed possibly this year. The R68s and R62s which have yellow and orange seats are meant to be replaced in the upcoming years to come.
They about this close to find a builders for the R262/As for the iRT A devions I have a real spiritual feeling that Kawasaki Yonkers or Nebraska is going to build the R262/As open and end ways . including the R268/As I'm telling you.
The issue isn't the seating on these R46 and R68 railcars, the real issue is you are locked inside the car between stations. No escape if you need to flee to another car during a violent incident like what happened on the N train when a man opened fire on passengers. The news focuses on insignificant issues instead of real issues. What should have been reported is with the new railcars passengers are no longer trapped inside a single car.
Well, me personally was traumatized by that train . What happened to me on August 6 @10am #6 Train that was going to 68 Street I hope it never happened to anyone else. I broke my ankle so badly and no one could hear me screaming for help . I had to crawling up the stairs and brought myself to the Hospital 🏥. I tried to call and sent emails but ... Just no fair
Those trains are from the 1970s, with newer cars added in the ‘80s. And are they replacing the seats or just retiring some cars? This story answered none of these questions.
Partially incorrect - only the “R46” type cars will be retiring, the R62/R62A/R68/R68A cars with these seats are NOT leaving, please do research first (search up these fleet names if you do not know what they are).
With headsets, bags or chains..the end seats by the doors are not always ideal. Some professional criminals time when they reach in and snatch items just before the doors will close..if the rider doesn't respond quickly enough.

I remember those seats, this take me back when I was younger where we rode on an F train via R46.
Not via, on.
I actually like these trains.
Oh, no!!! I love those seats!!! Hell, I grew up riding on those seats.
Memories like the story of my life......Distant foggy memories....
these cars haven’t been on the F in almost 5 years
exactly I hate when news channels screw up things like this 😭
not only that they mentioned the irt lines and the r262s arent even close to coming to the system. they always get everything wrong
i know, right? all Fs are R160s...and now some R179s too that started december 18th
Do not believe the MTA. The new trains should have been released years ago. The negligence cost lives.
Actually tbf R68s still have those seats and won’t be replaced in 2025. This is according to the MTA.
So we will still have yellow and orange seats
I like the row of this seats, especially front looking
Now keep those trains clean 😅 don’t have people dropping food and beverages and deuces 💩 on them and clean them! Make the subway worth riding again
we need better service and cheaper service not new seats smh....MTA always crying broke I NEED TO SEE THE BOOKS
You can’t afford $2.90?

@@joermnyc There's fights on subways over people sitting too close to someone. Armrests would at least prevent that.

But does classic nyc 80s subway cars in Brooklyn transit museum
yea these cars dont run on the f anymore
fr lol
@@gohtigeriens7967 almost 5 years at this point
Those trains never have homeless sleep in them all night... Maybe get rid of the orange but keep the configuration....
Oh shit, you're right. I never thought of that...and the MTA is getting rid of them without giving a second thought. They're always clean
Ya both def don’t take these trains as frequent to notice, don’t be fooled homeless people def sleep on those orange seated trains especially on the A, 1 and 6 trains
I actually like the red, orange, yellow colors. It's sad they made them all cold blue for the newer trains.
What do you have against the homeless?
Leave the seats alone. Changing the colors out of boredom. They're not falling apart. The seats are fine the way they are. Can't the money be used for something more practical?
agreed!
And they are adding Daniel Penny to every train
Ah yes, smees on the (F) line when they run R160s with pure blue seats
Thank god those seats ruined the R62’s and R68/R68A’s imo the R32’s had better seats than those colorful seats
I love those back to back seats cause they're the only trains that always have available seats. I never like those new bench seats cause there never any available seat.
R46 going bye bye 😭😭😭😭
Please start with the 3 trains because they have no heat and lights are dark in them
Noooo!!! I love those seats and that layout! Each seat is nicely made to fit each person unlike the bench seats and you get window seats too!
At least with R211s we still get to have different color seats and not just 100% blue seats. And at least the blue seats on the R211s are a different shade of blue compared to the other NTT train light blue seats.
They are not on the F train anymore
The old cars are classic and have dim lighting with heaters that are better than the new trains.

Don't worry, it will still be a few years before the last one is retired
They should have the seating configuration on the newer trains
Hmm universe anticipating.when MTA is going to Replace the Psychos that Are walking around threw the system Terrifying paying passengers 😳🙏
