The number of R160s apparently is why they're going to the (W) rather than the (Q). Understandable. _________________________ On A Clear Day, You Can See Forever......

Relay Relay Straphanger Registered: 01/10/08 Posts: 268 Loc: New York City	I'm glad I work the IRT. From an operator's position, I don't like the R-160. I operated the simulator at 130 livingston, and unlike the R-142 there is no relief. On the R-142, when your right arm gets tired you can switch to operating with the left. This is impossible on the R-143, R160. Left handers must hate this equipment. NYCT is inviting an endless string of workmen's compensation claims. But to all the "W" line riders, Enjoy your new cars. _________________________ Photobucket:- http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii205/Relay-Metro

There are other more deserving lines. Full time lines should have priority in receiving new cars. I agree Mr. Wilson. Even if the R-160's are 'delayed' in going online, you could still have a 50/50 split with say R-68's and the new R-160's on the "Q" till rest of order arrives by later on this year. The "W" is among the lowest ridership in system.

The W just got R68s from the N and now they are changing fleet again?? _________________________ Via Lexington Avenue...

Princelex Princelex Transport Workers Union Steward Registered: 07/06/04 Posts: 1052 Loc: Co-op City, Bronx NY	This is disturbing. I'd rather have the Q keep the 68/A's for an extra year or give the 160's to another line entirely than to give it to a line like the W. The MTA needs to come more correct than this. _________________________ May U Live 2 see the Dawn - Prince

guypak guypak MTA Board Member Registered: 04/28/07 Posts: 6380 Loc: queens	Although it would be nice to see r160s on the W, it shouldn't be next. So far i have been fine with the order. The J/M/Z definitely needed them. Next i think it should go on the C then the B/W. I am fine with the R68s on the W and B. _________________________ Using the MTA could be the best and worst part of your day. Frequent user of the Q46, E/F and QM1A.
