New subway cars made in China soon replacing aging ones on LA Metro’s B and D lines will feature bench seating, like subways in New York and Tokyo.
Subway passengers in Los Angeles and Hollywood will soon be riding in new train cars that incorporate bench seating resembling trains running under New York City and London, and “open gangways” enabling passengers to pass unencumbered between train cars.
The stainless steel cars are 75 feet long, 10.2 feet wide and 12.3 feet in height. Each car is equipped with 41 seats with a total seating capacity of 246 per car. Each car has 12 USB ports for charging phones or laptop computers, according to Metro records.The inside of the new HR4000 cars show bench seating. This allows for more standing room capacity. The cars arrived at LA Metro in early August 2023 are will be in service in six to eight months. .
“In a train of six cars you can walk from one end of the train to another end. There are no doors through the cars,” Reed said. Trouble getting the train cars caused Metro to cancel an option for an additional 218 rail cars with the Chinese company. These additional cars were planned for new service on the D Line.
