How does the traction motor cost less to maintain because it is in an LRV rather than an L or subway car? The control packages are similar, what makes them cost less to maintain because the car body is different?As to the better choice for SI, the issue is run through compatibility. If the system will be linked to the HBLR, then the cars MUST be interoperable. That said, if this gets built, the current SIR should migrate to similar cars/platforms. The point is allow for through routings/ make everything easy for the riders. |
