A Peek Inside New York's Subway Redesign Plan

On paper the improvements look nice. I don't get the preservation portion. That adds cost with little utility.

Clean the stations, make them less grimy, eliminate the dark dungeon feel, dress up the load bearing beams a bit with a material where grime and soot can be easily cleaned.

Put in some women only cars on the crowded lines to prevent groping... Maybe one day get a north-south line to join the outer borough lines (a peripheral line). Most lines are in and out of Manhattan, as if people didn't move interborough.

Is there data on whether women-only cars work? What happens when you jump on the subway at the last second and end up in one of the other cars?

Not to mention that it stinks very much of segregation, which was said below by some posters although sarcastically.

I think the right thing to do is to attack the pervs and the criminals. That is where the actual blame lies, right?

We should put in some minority only cars too! Wouldn't want that privilege to rub off.

Rather than delay the problem so that those people can just go and grope people somewhere else how about better CCTV so they can be caught and punished.

Women only cars - yeah, segregation on public transport is such a great idea and completely legal! /s

> Put in some women only cars on the crowded lines to prevent groping

That's straight up segregation. Not only is this illegal, it's unfair to basically the other half of the population for an additional "safe space".
