## Resource

Rockaway Park’s shuttle just got a sleek new upgrade with brand-new R211A trains replacing aging R46 cars from the seventies—part of the MTA’s massive fleet modernization push. Wider doors, better cameras, more seating, brighter lights, and clearer signs make boarding faster and riding more comfortable. This fifth line to get the new cars also benefits from extended weekend service perfect for beachgoers. But it’s not just Rockaway—this is the start of replacing old subway cars citywide, with the MTA eyeing the biggest subway car purchase ever to keep the system fast, safe, and reliable for everyone.
