I think we need 12 trains for full services, with 2 spares, until we start getting another shipment of trains, which I think is still a few years away. The only option is to send in 1 train at a time, and have only 1 spare, assuming our trains are defective, which is a very good chance they are.
Why do you think there's a very good chance all our trains are defective? Weren't most of the frames built in Canada?
Were the frames for the TTC built in a different plant than the ones for the ION?
Also, is this simply a workmanship flaw, or is it a design flaw that might persist with the ION?
Whatever the case, there is an "Off Topic" discussion about the TTC over at redflagdeals, apparently each train would take 19 weeks to repair.
