Good morning on this warming Thursday.
Subway riders: Have you noticed anything missing from your commute? Like, maybe a seat? On Tuesday, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority rolled out redesigned subway cars on the E line, with some of the seats removed.
The agency hopes that up to 10 more people will be able to squeeze into each new car — meaning 80 to 100 extra commuters per train — to help reduce overcrowding. In all, 100 cars will lose their seats in the pilot program. The L train and the 42nd Street Shuttle are next in line for the redesign, according to the authority.
Yesterday, we waited at the 34th Street station for a few trains to pass before one of the refurbished models, with its navy blue wrapping, pulled into the station.
With the seats removed at the front and back of the car, it felt roomy, even, dare we say, luxurious — though that likely won’t be the case during rush hour. People were enthusiastic about the interiors, calling them “bright,” “cheerful,” even “beautiful.”
As for the deleted seats, reviews were mixed.
Assinale a alternativa CORRETA.
a) O plano piloto prevê que usuários do metrô evitem transportar mochilas, malas, carrinhos e outros itens que ocupem espaço de passageiros.

c) Os trens redecorados em azul-marinho e modificados com redução de assentos mostraram-se espaçosos e atraentes.
d) Os usuários do metrô acham que mais espaço é fundamental para os horários de pico.
