Just a question to anyone on this board that might know the answer has the TTC ever tested the Flex with the Pans up inside of Union station, Spadian and St. Clare West?

This is what we need next to piss the car drivers off more
BKK has received approval to operate the first of its new 56-metre
(183.7 foot)
Urbos 3 trams in Budapest – thought to be the longest trams in the world. 9 cars can be put into service now with 3 more due in the next few months.
As for delivery, look for it on April 1st. 2 day short of a car every 30 days and nothing on the radar.

Things are getting worse for Bombardier as they just lost out on 850 cars order for Chicago today.
That is the first wrap for the new fleet and have yet to see it.

Looks like they went with Chinese maker and put this in contract:
"CTA will have the right to stop work on the cars for any reason, should a problem arise. Nothing is paid until cars are accepted by the CTA. Failure to deliver cars on time will result in fines of $300 per day per car."
Why we didn't think of that?

I really think the TTC can do without the unintentional irony of advertising SUVs on its vehicles.

Here was Brad Ross on Twitter yesterday:
@BradTTC
@nfitz1 Ramping up production in March to get us to 4 per month.
"Ramping up in March" with a goal of 4 per month is obviously a bit different from "four per month, starting in March."

BBD will announce there are "lots" of vehicles waiting for delivery but not sure how to wrap them

Any word on why Chicago didn't select BBD?

Its in the article link I posted few posts up...
"In choosing CSR, CTA bypassed Bombardier, which built its 5000-series cars, the last of which was delivered just five months ago. CTA Vice President/Purchasing Ellen McCormick said the CSR/Sifang proposal was $226 million less than the bid submitted by Montreal-based Bombardier."
It looks like there were 226 million reasons why the did't go with BBD...
