During a significant heat wave, New York City's subway riders faced sweltering conditions on the 1 train due to malfunctioning air conditioning. Commuters like Ahmad Perry and Michael Johnson described their discomfort, with temperatures in subway cars exceeding 90 degrees. The 1 line is equipped with some of the city's oldest trains, and there are plans for replacements and upgrades in the MTA's five-year capital plan. Commuters expressed frustration at the inadequate cooling measures during this heat wave, particularly as they travel to important events like the primary elections.
In the last few days, I've traveled back and forth on the 1 line and I have not been on a car that has AC yet.
You've got the clock up to see how long til the next train. I saw one minute, so I came running down because I just don't want to get trapped on the platform for another five.
