MTA diudn't order enough trainsets to go along with the electronics. An oversight, but hardly a disaster.A HUGE oversight! CBTC works with trains that can work with it. NYCT was short of such trains from day zero on, continuing right into the present day, and for some time in the future as well. It's like knowing that you need to make 250 omelettes and only having one carton of eggs on hand; it's more than a mere oversight. I assume that the folks who made the decisions are capable of doing simple arithmetic; perhaps you think that they're not? I'll stick by my original thought on this; the people involved in that decision should be held to account for an oversight of that kind of magnitude. Either these officials are accountable or they're not. |
