You’re the second person to say this yet the article mentions specifically the 2 car trains the mta runs?

I don’t get why this point is being jumped on.

Yes as the article states there are 2 car trains.

OK but the article also says:

- There's only one 2-car line, the Franklin Ave. Shuttle

- That line is converting to have 3-car trains.

So to begin with, the set of small enough trains is the tiniest portion of everything the subway does, not even covering all the small "shuttle" lines. And then even that tiny exception is set to end. Big difference between "applies to the busier routes" and "applies to essentially all the routes."
