GRANDLINQ PAID TO RUN LRT FOR 6/9/12 MONTHS WITH NO TRAINS
People are going to lose their shit and the politicians will pay.
Even if there are no trains, I could be wrong, but Region could not leave all the LRT infrastructure for the system just sit there with no maintenance or oversight for however long it might be.
Mothballing by not paying an operator would cost even more to get the system up and running again at sometime in the future. Besides do we want to be known as the "Mothball Region"
Switches, rails, gates, lights etc. need to be kept working and not allowed to degrade.
It is what it is for now, can't change our contractual obligations because Bombardier is the child in the room.
