This sounds like a much better idea, to use existing fleet stock from wherever reasonable rather than unnecessarily adding another order and not having a certain future for the vehicles. I’d rather the government be savvy about this idea as I can understand the need to provide high quality public transport along the whole route to the airport but without having the time or labor force to do so before 2032 at this point, so this would be a very acceptable compromise, in my view.
When I first rode our metro, I thought it was terrible. Felt cheap in quality compared to a tram, train or even a regular bus.

Agreed - although the obsession seems to be limited to the powers that be. Frustrates me how out of touch politicians of all stripes are with reality.

The seats being quite uncomfortable is the main problem IMO

Oh look at that, the NIMBYs killing the light rail didn’t give them the low-rise paradise they envisioned. Now they’ll have high-rise anyway, just with worse traffic. If only someone could have foreseen this outcome!

This warms my cold heart. They advocated for lane after lane of standstill traffic, and they will get exactly that!
