Since i don't recall any topics about this, i decided to bring this up. According to the MTA's current capital plan, the R179 will be an order of 300 cars (if i'm not wrong) to replace the remaining R32s and R42s still in service. This change is due to take effect in 2015 and bombardier is going to build this fleet of cars. Also, the MTA's capital plan for 2015-2019 will produce the R211s, which will replace the R46 fleet of cars.
What are your thoughts about this? Oh and if my information is incorrect in any way please tell me.
