Still baffled that they stuck with the transverse seating design.
Exactly my biggest issue with them. And I don't get the modification on FIND with the position of the indicators changing. Looks odd and more complicated than it has to be. Otherwise, better than what the Metro has now, but not saying much. Aren't they supposed to have automated announcements now? Taking them long enough.
Similar? Where do you think the they got the idea for using FINDs from? That look, those colors, the interior signs excluding the maps next to the doors, all us.

So glad to see something other than carpet; today's trains always smell like mildew. I wonder if they'll take it through noise testing, though, and see if acoustic panels can be built into the walls or elsewhere.
More so than transverse seating, I'm disappointed that they didn't go with an articulated car design. That would not only increase capacity, but also ease their current problem with some parts of the train being packed and others being comparatively empty.
