MTA chair and CEO Janno Lieber emphasized the excitement surrounding the R211 train introduction, stating, 'What is on the agenda today is actually hugely exciting for riders.' He highlighted the impact of open-gangway trains on overcrowding, adding that they will allow passengers to move between cars safely, contributing positively to the commuter experience.
Lieber noted the planned rollout of new trains includes at least two open-gangway trains for the G line by early 2025 and 355 traditional cars by 2027. He expressed confidence that 'our friends in Greenpoint, people who ride the G and are passionate about transit, are going to welcome getting new trains.'
