Nitpick: MDBF is just one type of measure of reliability. To get a more fulsome picture, you also need additional stats such as...

Interesting that the 3700 are back in service. Why were they out of service? And what's the reasoning for them to be brought back? And...

If the fuel cost savings from an EV is so great , TTC wouldn't be going back to hybrid. So there's more to it than fuel savings.

The last MDBF for TTC hybrids were still lower than the older diesel buses. So diesel buses still have a better reliability rate than...
