If we have all vehicles by end of year, why do we have to wait a minimum of 4 more months?  *sigh*.

Thomas Schmidt from the region says it's for the final checks, tests, 600km burn in, 2 week full service simulation (the interview that's happening now on 570 news). But if they all arrive in December as opposed to January it would give them a bit more leeway...

A bit more? Again, were they lying about the December date?  Or are they delaying launch months for no reason?

If they have all trains in December, and the last train needs 2 weeks + burn in (max 2 weeks?).  January should be the month, not May/June.

Quite frankly, this region is proving itself unacceptable for non-car owners.  I will leave or buy a car, but I'm not going to suffer further through this bullshit.
