The R160 cars are now the most common car on the B Division (lettered lines) of the New York City Subway. Between 2006 and 2010, a total of 1,662 cars were delivered and entered service, replacing all R38, R40, and R44 cars and most R32 and R42 cars. The R160 contract was split in to two different contracts. Alstom built the R160A, which operate in a mix of 4 and 5 car sets, while Kawasaki built the R160B, all of which operate in 5 car sets. The most notable feature on the R160A and R160B cars was the introduction of the "FIND" (Flexible Information and Notice Display) System. FIND displays have a dynamic LED strip map that updates at each station to show upcoming stations, transfer options, and other information. The FIND displays can also be updated on the fly due to reroutes or other service interruptions. Each car has multiple FIND displays, which replaced the static strip maps that were found on the R142, R142A, and R143 cars.
