That's what I was thinking (not CBTC specifically, but some components in the B cars that the As don't have). Will be interesting to see what happens in a few years when the Hippos retire. |

How hard would it be to extend the Botanical Garden platforms now?And Park Place and Franklin Avenue? Of course Prospect Park already has a full length platform, so it isn't as much of a big deal. |

Here is Park Place: They could probably extended the platform in both directions to the respective streets or even over them. Franklin Ave:  Probably could extend it to the south Botanic Gardens is mostly underground, so I couldn't screen shot it, I guess the same could be done, after all, they used to be able to accomodate 4 60-foot cars. |
