All aboard
reporting on the unveiling of the Canada Line cars – covered here in more timely fashion.
Note that the new cars cost around $4m a pair.
I was very surprised this evening when my neighbour gave me this – an original Buzzer from1925 when new two car trains for Richmond cost $42,100. Yes they were cheaper (in today’s money about $0.5m) but then they needed a crew of two to operate them – the new ones are driverless. But the old ones did have more seats.
I am probably violating copyright by doing this, but until someone stops me here is a scan of that document.
