Are the seats ideal in a packed peak train, no. However, that is harder to pin on the MTA than Peter Rosa thinks. Federal requirements require the aisle to be as wide as it is. These requirements also necessitate the large bathroom and door areas that reduce seating capacity. 4 abreast would lead to larger seats, but it would further reduce seating capacity. While many middle seats go unused, I have also been on trains where EVERY seat in the car I was in was taken and then some. What would be worth considering though is if it was possible to make what is essentially a bi-level M7 that does not require the use of the DE/DMs |
