Client: MTA New York City Transit


Fulfilling the tastes and needs of 5 million daily subway riders would have been enough of a feat, but the design of the cars for the new technology train that will replace 30 percent of the New York City fleet go far beyond aesthetics. The melamine walls resist “scratchiti” and seat-end railings protect passengers from potential attack by people on the platform.
