“During routine operations of R211 subway cars in service, New York City Transit crews discovered a faulty gear box in some of the cars,” an MTA spokesperson said in an email. At the time of the R211’s unveiling, MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said the new trains would provide straphangers with “a more modern passenger experience.”The ultra-modern R211 models feature a number of improvements over the R179s, including wider doors, better lighting, and security cameras.The initial order, the MTA’s first major subway car purchase in five years, was awarded to manufacturer Kawasaki in 2018 and included 535 of the state-of-the-art R211s.
