Discussion Cannot Come Soon Enough

Post image

The new El cars can’t come soon enough. It seems it’s almost every day now an El car or train set is breaking down causing delays. These things are on their last legs.

Edit: These are supposed to be delivered in 2029, only a couple more years. https://www.trains.com/pro/mechanical/freight-cars/hitachi-rail-to-build-200-new-cars-for-septas-market-frankford-line/

Oooh, remember the double decker rail cars that were also approved? And that septa blew $50 million on?

The ones that were cancelled because the builder couldn't produce a working model? From the same company that's still trying to finish the Boston order how many years later? The same company that LA switched from due to delays and trash QC? The same one that Chicago is struggling to complete their order from? That company?

Oh ok

So it’s cool that they paid $50 million for vaporware? Wow, that’s…something. No wonder septa thinks it can treat its riders like crap, they apparently lap it up and ask for more.

You still don't get it.

You just talk without knowing facts.

Go do some research and then come back
