Something is wrong when I am happy to see a 35 year-old train pulling into the Red Line station instead of the brand new $1 million-plus car train.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-88050917453546132022013-05-01T11:52:16.954-05:002013-05-01T11:52:16.954-05:00Quit comparing the aisle facing seats to NYC and L...Quit comparing the aisle facing seats to NYC and London. Those cars are much wider and allow more room for standing people to move down the aisle without tripping over feet. As mentioned here, the 3200 series seating is the best compromise. There is much more aisle room as there are no feet to step on and trip over. I've noticed more door blockage on the new 5000 cars than on the old 2600 cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-30070487484643643942013-04-26T14:09:48.224-05:002013-04-26T14:09:48.224-05:00What the CTA cars need are more doors to get in an...What the CTA cars need are more doors to get in and out.

In NYC I never have trouble getting on or off the train because people get on the train and move into it, they don't get on and stop and block the doors the way people do in Chicago. So I'm all in favor of getting rid of the seats and metal panels that create an entrance foyer for people to stand and congregate in like the CTA has now. And I like the plastic seats as I'm sure its easier to clean and dry. All too often when its raining or snowing out I find the CTA fabric seats on the trains and buses are a bit moist. And do they ever clean that fabric?<br /><br />- GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-36840820231918755462013-04-25T11:42:02.208-05:002013-04-25T11:42:02.208-05:00It is far more frustrating when I cannot get onto ...It is far more frustrating when I cannot get onto a train, then when I cannot find a seat that affords me a view out the window. That being said, the flow of passengers on the 3200 series better encourages riders to squeeze in during rush hour. The open areas towards adjacent to each door, the perceptually wider aisle between the single and twin seats, both encourage riders to move away from the door, which in turn allows more riders to board during rush hour. And if you have ever ridden during rush hour, you understand why this is important. If more standing room capacity and a better flow of passengers could be designed, I would gladly embrace that design. In that context the 5000 series is a godsend to commuters when it means fewer 2200 series cars, which make commuting on the Blue Line a cramped experience at rush hour.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593332734051112260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-58043363595272099942013-04-25T10:09:49.563-05:002013-04-25T10:09:49.563-05:00I think the aisle facing seats is a sign the city ...I think the aisle facing seats is a sign the city is waking up. It's about efficiency and getting the most out of a car as you can get. If you want to see the city, take an architectual boat tour. When I visit London and NY I love the aisle facing seats. I never liked our seating situation. And when people say the seats are smaller, they are not. They are the same exact bucket seats as before. The bench seats on the other hand would be the best. To me that would acomadate the heavier people.

The Chicago system, however, being mostly elevated, offers an amazing view of the city from its windows to each commuter; that is a crucial factor that has to be considered before deciding on a radical layout change. Now, one could argue that with the new inward seating layout, most people will be standing but looking out the window and enjoying the views during their rides.

London has inward facing seats and I've never felt cramped in between two normal sized people. It's nearly impossible to fit my butt in between people in the 5000 series cars. When seats were situated in pairs at least you can lean one way or the other. When they are all on top of each other you have no way to avoid physical contact with the person next to you. Then at the end of the car there is an extra foot or two of space after the bench. Why not distribute that space in between seats and give us each an inch or two?
