Wait the MBTA EMUs are $39m per *car* with spare parts? I thought it was $39m per 8-car train (which would still be a rather high cost).
My days of calling for the removal of agency officials are coming to a middle.
Alon (they/them)
the #MBTA costs are out for the BEMUs. they’re the most expensive rolling stock ever procured. but not just that—at roughly $25m/car ($525m npv over 21 usable cars), they are 2x more expensive than any other rail cars ever bought (per transitcosts.com/rolling-stoc...)
