Draft:R268 (New York City Subway car)

The R268 is a proposed New Technology Train-series New York City Subway car type. It was first mentioned under the MTA's Non-Construction Contract Solicitation Notice document back in June of 2023. It is likely to replace the R68 and R68A fleets, which were built in the late 1980s. The contract of the R268 would be awarded in the late-2020s.

Similar to the current R211, and the future R262, this subway car model would feature advanced technology. At the ends of the train, it would display a large LED screen with the route bullet, similar to the front rollsigns on older trains (R40 to R68A). The train's destination will be displayed above the door on the front. It may also feature open gangways, as on the R211Ts and the R262s.
