The new cars have greater
seating capacity than those they
are replacing, and will have a
useful life of up to 40 years.
When they come online, MTA
will replace 38 cars. Overall, the
fleet will expand by 16 cars,
which will help accommodate
rising ridership and relieve
overcrowding on some of the
busier routes. Revisions in the
Penn Line schedule last year
also added more frequent service and an additional 1,000 seats during rush-hour service,
reducing the number of standees. On-time performance on that line increased to 93 percent.
