I'm a retired subway train conductor from the NYCTA MTA. New York stopped running trolleys over 50 years ago. Wish we'd kept them.

i never understood why they mixed old cars with new ones

[QUIKKSTAR]

Even the trains from the 80's here in Chicago looks 20 years ahead of these.

Step ur game up Boston!

2) The Orange Line is expecting a Delivery of NEW Subway Cars around 2012-15. The current fleet has been in service since 1981.

3) Unconfirmed - The Red Line may have more on order later this decade.

4) The Current Green Line Fleet is from 1986 (Japan) to 2000/2001 (Italy)

great vid, nicely done. boston has a great system, though i wish they would update their rail cars, those look out of date. buses look great though!

@timosha21 Yeah I know what you are saying. Realistically Phoenix is still a young city and I can't expect the same kind of transit system here.

[watchinginaz]

Man I am jealous all we have in Phoenix is a mediocre bus system with one light rail line.  Big friggin whoop
