MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) discussion

Well the alternative would be to cancel the contract and start over, meaning the Red Line fleet which, except for the newer 1800 Bombardier cars, is well beyond its service life and is being held together with duct tape and chewing gum, would have to soldier on for many more years while a new supplier was signed and new cars produced.

I think it is a BRIBE to CRRC to get them to complete the contract they signed up for. at the Board meeting, CRRC reps spoke in Chinese with an interpreter. one of the things at was mentioned was that they have problems with some of their subcontractors and wanted the MBTA to help them with this

Alstom likes to buy companies like that.
