The R211 subway cars will replace the R44, the oldest rolling stock in the MTA portfolio, which has been in service on Staten Island since 1973.
New York City Transit president Demetrius Crichlow stated that the new cars are anticipated to have six times better reliability than the old R44.
MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber emphasized that the R211 train cars represent a significant investment in Staten Island's transit system.
The R211 has previously been operating on the A line since last March, showcasing the agency’s efforts in modernizing the fleet.
