While NTTs are certainly less than perfect, their announcements are much better than those of the R32s. The R32s lack electronic strip maps or the FIND, or any kind of electronic signage at all. They have less soundproofing than the NTTs, and have depressing interiors (I find them too dark, while the NTTs' interiors are too sterile.) Most of my friends who've ridden both the R160 and the R32 agree that the R160 is more comfortable. It's unfortunate that the R110b, whose design was extraordinarily attractive, was merely a prototype.If the NTTs' seats were more comfortable, they would be excellent trains, at least from a rider's perspective... I wonder what Antenna Design, the NTT cars' interior designer was thinking. I know the two lead designers are Japanese, and perhaps smaller than the average American? |
