Cool. Did you know that there is a set on the K and T already and about two sets on the N. They should add destination announcement for example K outbound like the Breda cars.
Tech and Transit I’m not sure I thought 2005 is now with 2006 on the N making two cars in a train set. And I thought after that there was a new one car train testing on the N by now.
Oh the only pics I've seen of 2005 in service were on the K/T. 2008 was testing on the N but it seems to jump from line to line, at least for the test runs. Not sure what's happening with 2001-2003 because I haven't seen them yet.
The doors on these trains are so sketchy. Why can’t they be like the new BART cars where they shut (close) with such authority? The problem with the current Breda doors is when they close, it real easy to notice that they’re not synchronized with each other. The new trains......have got the same issue. LIKE SERIOUSLY?! How do those test guys not know about this? Do they just not care? If I was to give my personal rating on these trains, I would without a doubt give them a 9/10 because that door problem is minus 1 point in my book. Some of you might think I gave them a good score, but for me, I can’t stop thinking how RETARDEDLY bad these doors operate. I just don’t think that’s acceptable.
The slowness of the doors in the subway is annoying. Part of that is that the doors open outward before the gap spacer extends, and then the doors slide open - this happens in a synchronized step on the Breda’s. During the delay introduced by the extra step, sensors on the train also gauge the platform height vis-a-vis the train, and *actually adjust the suspension* to eliminate any height difference between the train and platform, and bring the train slightly closer to the platform as well. Annoying, sure, but pretty damn cool - and very helpful for those using mobility aids. The flexible suspension also means the ride quality is really smooth.
The doors barely worked at all on the Bredas before the retrofit. For historical reasons Muni Metro is unique, many of the stops are on a slope -- it's a challenge not found in most light rail systems.
It's a pain in the butt to see the new streetcars being tested everyday, because they slow everyone down while they wait for these eco-friendly modes of public transportation that turn out to be part of the SFMTA. Thumbs up if you agree.

I did know 2005 was running on the K/T now. I was unaware about the second train on the N. Do you know the number by any chance?

Tech and Transit I saw 2001-2003 before in the testing demonstration video by muni.
Am I seeing things or does the body lift up/down slightly toward the platform edge before the doors open/after the doors close?
*_•reshirm•_* you can say that again
I rode one of the new trains on the N line! WAY nicer than the old trains!
@AeroBennett855 same!
What do Muni riders think of that AC motor sound?
I wonder what that guy with headphones was thinking XD
lol ikr
Wat guy?
That destination sign program needs to be improved.
Too confusing.

They're done between trains so there is no hold up. Channel your frustration elsewhere.
My minivan’s power sliding doors can open faster than those weak doors.
Safety.
Don't need ppl getting closed in the doors.
