  • Abstract
    Fluorescent lighting, improved riding qualities, smoother acceleration and deceleration, and noise reduction are some of the numerous improvements incorporated in the new subway cars for New York City. The subway commuter will derive greater comfort and cleanliness from thermostatic heat control, an increased quantity of horizontal fans per car, plastic seat coverings, and wider aisles.
