The new-look trains rolling on some of the lettered subway lines offer a glimpse into the fleet of the future. With wider doors, brighter interiors and advanced cameras, the cars known as R211s can now be seen on the A, C and G lines. As part of the MTA’s proposed $68.4 billion five-year capital plan, the transit agency wants to buy 1,500 more new cars — replacing a fifth of the entire fleet and aligning with its next wave of signal upgrades.

The federal transportation chief who trashed the subway as a “sh-thole” took a photo-op train ride with Mayor Eric Adams on Friday — but didn’t bother giving a heads-up to the MTA. In his latest jab at New York’s transit system, Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy hinted that the MTA may be in line for a probe of its spending habits — after previously threatening to withhold billions of dollars in federal funding.

MetroCard sales end Dec. 31, but a third of all riders have not yet converted to OMNY, according to the MTA. “It’s not that we can’t accept change,” one holdout said. “It’s just that we don’t want to make the change — like me.” NEW in @THECITYNY https://t.co/A6n6JoTc2b
