TTC has only 5 Flexity Outlooks. Bombardier has 3, that can't be used for regular service. 4 out of 5 is to be expected.
Indeed, from what I heard, one consideration is that 4400's odometer is quite a bit higher than most of the others, and 4403 to some extent as well, since they were received much earlier and 4400 in particular saw LOTS more testing milage put onto it. Don't know if that's 100% accurate, but it's what I've heard--anecdotally, I certainly feel like I've seen 4400 be the odd one out more often than any other individual one, with 4403 in second place, but that might just be a coincidence or confirmation bias. 4404/5/6 seem to be in service pretty consistently.
Today had 4400 and 4406 on 509, and 4404 and 4405 on 510, with 4403 sitting the day out. Caught 4400 on 509 completely by sheer luck, didn't even try to time my trip to meet it--lovely to have the AC with the insane humidity these last few days! Was sweating up a storm on CLRVs yesterday...yikes!
