I concur! We could use a splash of color in our system but without the lettering and ads!! Urbanrailer!

I think the colors are too bright for that

@@stiizy2valid521I think the bright red shade looks pretty cool

@@unstableatoms3456 redbirds are the ones with the dark reds, youve got yourself a more expensive r27, not a modern redbird

maybe it does.

The fare has nothing to do with this.

@@TheRailLeaguer bro it was a joke😐

@@TheRailLeaguer r/wooosh

What about the cuomo R160s, besides this

I have the R211

Nevermind, I've seen cooler

Well, a "Pinkbird" anyway (Lavenderbird?).

YES!!!

Good idea

I should try it

@@arrow1414 it’s definitely not pink or lavender

ikr

On the plus side, they could be painted to match the color that their line has on the map (red for the West Side IRT, dark blue for the 8th Avenue line, etc.). On the negative side, that reduces flexibility in the use of rolling stock. For example, cars would need to be repainted if they were transferred from the West Side IRT to the East Side IRT or from the 6th Avenue line to the Sea Beach.

@@loissimmons109 that would also be expensive

Back in the day before unification the were known/designated by their initials: the IRT (all the numbered trains); the BMT (the Astoria/Coney island lines) and the IND (the A, etc. lines!)! On the old maps they were prsented as blue for the IRT, green for the BMT and red for the IND. Splash of color couldn't hurt but no writing, no ads! Urbanrailer!

@@dumontthe5th On some of the old maps, the BMT was in yellow. And originally the IRT routes had no designations at all. The BMT originally numbered their routes, while the IND always used letters (single letters for express trains, double letters for locals). It was only when connections were made at various places (like connecting the IND with the Culver Line south of Church Ave and the 60th Street Tunnel Connection that linked the BMT Broadway Line with the IND Queens Boulevard Line), that the Transit Authority reorganized the subways into the A Division (IRT) and B Division (BMT and IND, which had wider cars that couldn't fit through all of the places in the IRT tunnels). With some routes combining BMT and IND tracks, it made more sense to assign letters J-Z to primarily BMT routes and free up numbers for the IRT routes now that new cars being acquired for IRT routes under the R series would have front signs of various type to display a route and route designation. While most BMT fans loved the old Standards subway cars, my one gripe about them compared to the Triplexes and the experimentals was that there was no place on the front of the cars for the destination. With the Brighton, Culver, Sea Beach and West End trains all using the Broadway line in Manhattan, they had to have different stopping points relative to the platforms to help people know which route had pulled into the station. About 2/3 of the way down this web page, the original BMT numbered route scheme begun in 1924 can be found under the heading "Service labels". metro.fandom.com/wiki/Brooklyn-Manhattan_Transit_Corporation

Did you know when the r142as were on the 6 they had the target ad, man those were the days.

@@soraforpresident5209 I actually remember that! Those wrapped advertisements were for announcing the opening of the East River Mall along East 116th Street in Harlem!

@@soraforpresident5209 that was back in 2010

I would have to respectfully disagree with you; yes,ads bring in much needed revenue but to see car after car with ads just looks cheap to me! Perhaps if they were to reduce the salaries of the top execs of the TA /MTA, we might just find a few [duckettes' to fund the system! Urbanrailer!

It works for me and agree. They do this on European trains I say right on!

There is, inside of the train if you look up

@@mang0.0 I guess New Yorkers just don't like anything different on our trains considering from the graffiti bad old days on our subway cars I hardly look at the ads looking up anymore because they're so boring! The only time I look up is the strip map! Otherwise I'm sorry they look great!

lirr m7's used to haev ads a few years ago

So dose my name look fire bc it has an (L)

@@brownguy51 I like those RPs. They seem cool!

I think that he won't answer you, but looks like he just filmed it on his phone so accurately

The fare has nothing to do with advertising, which is practically normal on any subway system.

@@TheRailLeaguer Joke

@@TheRailLeaguer guess you don't understand sarcasm?

Why? I don’t want the L changing names.

@@langstonreese7077 it's a joke dude calm down 🙄

😂

No they shouldn’t.

Nope

Supreme is a clothing brand

Graffiti doesn’t being any revenue to the MTA and it’s not very appealing (especially after what happened in the 70s), though they could collaborate on a cool wrap for some of the line (maybe Queens residents and the MTA could come up with a design for a new wrap for the 7 train to celebrate diversity, A train riders and Bed-Stuy can honor Duke Ellington, etc).

@@TheRailLeaguer yeah that would be a good idea to give each individual train line it’s own identity and to show what’s special about each and every line

@@toxicrepstan1897 Yeah, though wrapping the cars for the lines does pose some logistical issues. For much of the BMT and IND, you have some yards servicing cars from at least 3 lines, and these cars hold more than 400 cars. The thing is that much of the cars there could be operated on other lines based out of the same yard (or even out of another yard) where needed, so it could be an issue if cars on the G train end up on the B line and vice versa for example, except for weekend loaning. This could be fixed once more concrete assignments for the upcoming cars are assigned, though I think the plan for now is the NYS Excelsior scheme and occasional advertising for all cars.

That was vandalism, this is advertising.

LOL yes, it kinda dose look like a red bird train!

Only this 8-car set.

Maybe on the R142s on the 2, 4, and 5, but the plan for now appears to be the blue colors, just like on the R211s and other cars

@@TheRailLeaguer Graffiting the trains isn't a good idea yk it's like damaging someone's property I wonder why dumbass people don't realize it. But oh well their just bums

The overpaid and inefficient union workers.

@MrDagr8rylz look at what the unions did to GM and Chrysler

@@cyclopsvision6370 The union workers are being underpaid. Most of them barely make 6 figures, especially the train operators and conductors.

True, but say 3-4 trains with ads on them running on different lines would spice the system up a bit :)
