It's A New Car . . .

I rode in one of the new passenger cars this morning and frankly I have to say I like the old ones better.  Sure the new car is all shiny and bright but since the seat backs are white, it also is rather sterile looking.  And did I mention there are more seats.  A lot more!  Which also means there is a lot less leg room.  Of course, this lack of leg room makes the morning nap (if I actually were able to sleep) much less comfortable.  Except that while there are more seats,  I noticed there weren't enough riders to fill them.  So I suppose I could just lay across the vacant seat.  The conductor tends to frown on that though and I'm sure MARC is betting that pretty soon all those empty seats will be filled.  Here's a hint, MARC -- stay on schedule and maybe they will.
