Re: MTA will still be ordering new 75 foot NYC subway cars

Let me recall something that was brought up on the 1970s...

10 x 60' cars = 40 doors open at the platform

8 x 75' cars = 32 doors open at the platform

resulting in longer dwell times at the station.

I know 75' cars mean fewer units to order, but still...plus, is it true that 75-footers cannot run on certain lines at all?
