Projects – RAPID TRANSIT

New-York
RAPID TRANSIT
NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT (NYCT) AND PORT
AUTHORITY TRANS-HUDSON (PATH) 
New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) is part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. With a daily ridership of 8 million passengers (over 2.5 billion annually), NYCT is the busiest and largest transit system in North America. 
Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) is a network of subways that connect the borough of Manhattan to neighboring cities in the state of New Jersey. It is one of the few subways in the world that operates 24 hours a day. The metro is part of the urban lifestyle: trips are much shorter than those on commuter trains, averaging about 20 minutes. However, the more frequent use and higher ridership of this type of urban transportation requires passenger seats of great strength and significant durability. 

Mandate

Manufacture passenger seats for rapid transit (1, 2 and 3 fixed seats), adapted to the requirements of urban life, robust and functional. The seats must meet all current quality and safety criteria and comply with APTA (American Public Transportation Association) standards. With a longitudinal infrastructure, each metro car has 34 to 37 seats (fixed and folding) for a total capacity of 95 to 120 people. 

Benefits

The processes used allow us to obtain composite parts of precise dimensions that have a good condition on all their surface.
