Different systems (remember it's mostly elevated with some subway), different kinds of cars I guess. I really don't know if those kinds of cars that you posted would be allowed by US law/regulation.pflo777 said:So will the new cars be like the old, just with new engines and a new seating?????
I mean, sorry to say that, but compared to most european cities e.g. Berlin, Munich, Kopenhagen oder Madrid, the EL-System is a driving junkyard---really sorry to say so, but thats competition!!
Chicagoland would have deserved much more comfortable, modern, and good looking trains, I mean we are in the year 2006!!!
Thats the lates subway train for my hometown munich:
Chicago is such a rich, beatyfull city, it would have deserved decent subway trains.....
Well NYC and Toronto (as well as some other NA cities) use Bombardier, so I would think they would have the same problems too.Frungy said:Bombardier, huh. Hope the CTA system doesn't turn into an Acela or Las Vegas.

Acela is a very different system than your normal metro trains, so it is unlucky they will suffer from similar problems.Frungy said:Bombardier, huh. Hope the CTA system doesn't turn into an Acela or Las Vegas.
Yes, exactly.GO_Rider said:Acela is a very different system than your normal metro trains, so it is unlucky they will suffer from similar problems.
Each one of those cars is problematic --- their friggin brakes squealed and squealed, has this harmful noise been corrected there yet? Plus the abrupt way those cars came to a rest is awfully outdated . . . .DrJoe said:BTW the Bombardier cars have been problem free in Toronto

To suggest that people should drive simply because they might be involved in a "very rare" accident on public transport is crazy.Randwicked said:What's the point of that article? DRIVE A CAR, CITIZEN. IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL BE SAFE.
