This is much more involved, if you're interested in the subject.

It's honestly the most important thing the MTA needs to accomplish, and their timeframe for completing this is entirely too slow. More than rolling stock, track replacement and signaling/communications upgrades will go a long way in making the system more efficient and reliable.

Then again, I'm kind of impressed that they've reach the [semi] state of good repair that they have, given how little funding they receive from Albany/the City; it's clear they won't be able to finance much more of these improvements....
