New York City Transit released a report Monday showing that 97.3 percent of all subway cars met its air conditioning standards in June and July.
That number would be even better were it not for the E train, where only 83 percent of the cars were 78 degrees or cooler.
When transit officials tested 120 cars on the E line, they found the temperature in seven of them hit 88 degrees or higher.
The E cars were built in 1964 and 1965, making them the oldest ones in the system and the toughest to keep working at peak performance.
New York City Transit President Howard Roberts told the Daily News that he's made air conditioning a top priority.
He says he's boosted the frequency of temperature readings in cars and is giving trophies to superintendents who keep their cars cool.
