Cars could have open gangways between them which would allow safe passage between cars even outside of emergencies, something NYCT currently disallows. The only reason to NOT do this would be if you made the new fleet similar to the original R46s and allowed them to be rearranged as necessary. A lot of people here, advocate 60' cars, but 75' cars make a lot more sense fiscally. |
