The R-179 train cars on the A, C, and J lines are causing a lot of operation issues in the past 2 years.
I have always been proud that the MTA’s train cars are designed by Kawasaki Rail Car, a major Japanese heavy industry manufacturer, so I was shocked when I heard this news. But, it turned out that the type R-179 happened to be the only MTA’s New Technology Trains car that was NOT designed by Kawasaki Rail Car.
