I'd perfer to think in terms of maintain rather than fix. Fix, you do when it's broken but maintenance is more evenly balanced for all car classes. That being said, the 4 & 5 car links are less costly to maintain because;a) There are less components that can fail or that require maintenance. b) The inspection teams use less inspectors/car c) Since they are the newer cars the components are still more dependable and fail less frequently. d) Greater dependence on Solid State devices which have no determinate life-cycle whereas contactors, etc. do. |
