> Much of nyc rolling stock should be end of life anyway What makes you think that? The MTA has been ordering new cars pretty consistently for the past several decades. The rolling stock of the subway ranges from 1970s-era to brand new stock. Most of it is 21st century and perfectly good. > Just order new trains and remodel stations There's 6500 cars to replace and 400+ stations to remodel. Even if the MTA were capable of doing that on time and in-budget, it would be incredibly expensive, so I ask again: is that really the best way for the MTA to spend its budget? You're basically asking for the entire system to be rebuilt from the ground up, purely to support platform doors.
