My honest guess is that the aerospace business is pretty separate. Given the price differences, I imagine quality control and supervision is taken much more seriously. I don't actually know that one Flexity car costs, but if you roughly divide the total value of the contract by the number of cars ordered you get 5-6 million dollars. The list price of the smaller C series jet is $62 million, an order of magnitude more.
What's the context though? Perhaps it was ship it as is, and rebuild it later in Toronto? I don't think you are fully in the loop.
No. It's still a prototype, and not available for service. It's 4400 that was sent back for modifications (and also sent from Toronto to the National Research Council in Ottawa for testing before that). 4401 and 4402 are supposed to go back for conversion from a prototype to the final design later this year.
Using a better app, I'm seeing two.
Most of them are out at peak most days though. I'm not sure why you'd assume they aren't being used.
Depends which app you are using. Some will drop them. Some will just show them somewhere else.
On most days, most of them are out at peak. Read through the thread, there's been frequent observances of 5 or 6 out at peak. Mid-day last week there were 4 in service. How does this one time observation count for much? Quite frankly, I haven't seen so few cars out in months.
In peak? Which days?
