Wrong theory.Most people who use GCT are regular travelers. They can tel, the difference between a prop or mock up and a restroom. Fact is, most customers either know where the restrooms are or are in a hurry to enter/leave GCT and could not care less outside of their usual train. |

At least they are not doing the 5-8AM hours like they did in New Haven.

It is just a nightmare to sit in a 2-seater on an M7 especially when the person sitting next to you is wider than you are. That is why i always go for the 3-seater if possible. |

It easily could've been made to take up less room like maybe a row of 3 seaters, that's all...And exactly what's the percentage of wheelchair riders vs typical riders? Less than 5-10%? |

Because there aren't that many disabled riders, they don't deserve to be accomodated? |

Even if there were 2% disabled that would mean at least two per car.And disabled does not only qualify wheelchair bound. As part of the full size mock up in Japan they brought in a person with a wheel chair to demonstrate how to use bathroom and even this size bathroom it was a struggle to see this person manouvre to the potty. the oversize batrhroom helps any ADA person from wheelchair to grandpa with his walker or the mother with a baby stroller. Grand concourse is pretty selfish in his statements and ignoring both law and common sense. |
