It would have made no sense whatsoever to use either Hi-Vs or any sort of BMT equipment for the opening of the IND since the iND was strictly a city operation and the other equipment was property of the 2 private transit companies. The only reason the R-1s ended up on the BMT prior to the opening of the IND was so they could be tested under actual operating conditions and any problems addressed and that was done by agreement between the city and the bMT. |
