Posted by Michael549 on Sat Feb 18 16:46:04 2017, in response to Re: SAS Use This Week, posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat Feb 18 13:14:26 2017. See: New York Affairs - The Transit Issue - Volume 7, November 1982 - Page 21 - "Trends In Transit Ridership" by James J. Barry and Ronald C. Reid."Comfort is another component of service quality. Air-conditioned cars can help make crowded trains more tolerable. At close of 1981, 35 percent of the 6,800 car fleet was air-conditioned. This is more then double the percentage of air-conditioned cars available in 1973 (1,400 more cars equipped with air-conditioning). However its value is partly offset by a large number of broken air-conditioning units and the fact that many of the air-conditioned R-46 cars have been and still are out of service." --- I have other fact books that I could check and confirm, but I very much remember a fact sheet put out by the MTA noting the 7,000 car fleet.
