"MTA Introduces Open Gangway Subway Trains to NYC Commuters"

TL;DR Summary
New Yorkers experienced their first rides on the MTA's new "open gangway" subway cars, which lack interior doors, allowing riders to walk the entire length of the train. The new trains, tested on the C line, received positive feedback for their open and airy feel, with passengers expressing excitement and comfort.

Governor Kathy Hochul highlighted the cars' security features and wider doors, while passengers, including subway enthusiasts, welcomed the new experience despite the absence of Wi-Fi.
