The slated stations will have a modern look, enhanced lighting and improved audio announcements.
New York City has released new renderings for the stations slated for the proposed Interborough Express linking Brooklyn and Queens via light rail, nicknamed the IBX. The 18 stations will feature a modern look and have multiple wide elevators, enhanced lighting and improved audio announcements, Ramsey Khalifeh writes for Gothamist.
“While the IBX doesn’t have a specific timeline for completion, officials have previously estimated service will be up and running in the 2030s. Half of the project has been funded by the MTA’s five-year construction plan,” Gothamist reports.
The $5.5 billion project would be New York City’s first end-to-end transit line since 1937 and bring riders from Brooklyn to Queens in 32 minutes, connecting with 17 different subway lines along the way.
