If they want to build a 'demo model' on their own dime and let the MTA run it, why the heck not? As long as it isn't costing the riders or taxpayers, who cares?

They'd put it on the Franklin shuttle.

20 year operating life? This builder should be disqualified just off of that alone, especially considering that all of the current fleet (even the NTT) could probably do 40 to 50 years of service.

The positive aspect of it is that the components are supposed to be modular so they can be upgraded as needed which I what I have been saying should be the case with the existing NTTs to make them all fully compatible.

It all depends on the cars' cost. If they cost only half as much as existing equipment, the per year depreciation would be the same.
