Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Sat Mar 17 00:20:22 2007, in response to Re: Breaking News: MBTA Green Line Boeing LRVs -- *FINAL DAY*, posted by BIE on Fri Mar 16 22:43:52 2007. BUDD was already soured on transit. Orders were few and far between in the 70's--there weren't as many transit operations back then. Remember at least once back then they deferred prime bidding to GE and simply did the body work on one of the M classes for MTA As to Boeing, while the LRV's were CRAP, concurrently they were building CTA L cars in the same plant. Those are running off the miles. What does this tell me? CTA had a very clear and well honed idea what they wanted. The bid specs were based on years of running their system. Boeing was able to competently build a proven design. |
