Not sure why they think things would be different this time around. China perhaps?
I'm sure all the people who are hating on Bombardier would be thrilled about getting trains from CRRH...
Siemens, Alstom, …. There are other manufacturers, and unless Bombardier can demonstrate significant improvement, the other manufacturers should get the job. The market for accessible vehicles is probably more mature now also. Are they still insisting on 100% low-floor? Easing off on that a little bit might expand the set of available vehicles without affecting overall accessibility.
