Hi,
I'm a rail enthusiast writing from Melbourne, Australia.
I am planning a trip to NYC later this year and having never been before I'm interested to find out about the seating layout of MTA's subway carriages.
I hope to do a lot of sightseeing of suburban New York while onboard the subway, however I have been informed that due to the seating layout, most subway cars do not have "window seats", rather a bench-seating arrangement whereby the passengers have their backs to the wall/window of the carriage.
An internet search has found this to be true in most cases, however I have come across the odd photo of 'window seats' such as this pic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:R44_Interior.jpg
Can I ask if it is just the R44 cars which have this particular seating arrangementm or are there other models in the MTA fleet?
....hoping this question made sense.
Thanks
