One of the problems is that the MTA tends to give the car manufacturers a bit too much leeway when it comes to car specifications. While it is contrary to specify the specific manufacturer of certain components under most circumstances certain manufacturers can be given the leg up by tightening certain specifications. If for example, the TA specified that the metal used in the car body be entirely stainless steel, then the R-38s would have been able to last as long as the R-32s instead of being subjected to body rot caused by 2 different types of metal reacting with each other. |
