Re: MTA removes or increases more speed limits

There is no PTC on the subway.

The trippers and signal system provide PTC functionality. It will stop the train, if the operator passes a stop signal. It will stop a train, if the operator exceeds a maximum safe speed in a timed track section.

One exception is that it does not prevent a leader from backing into its follower.
