MTA unveils greener work train to help with track repairs 02:00. The MTA is beginning the process of replacing its older work trains with newer and more environmentally friendly ones.

The MTA board is poised to buy 80 new "open-gangway" R211T subway cars, part of a larger, 435-car purchase option from train-builder Kawasaki that was delayed by the pause on congestion pricing.

Gov. Hochul said the state will be paying to put police on every overnight subway train for the next six months, "to reduce crime and the fear of crime" in the city's mass transit system.
