What does that mean?

Some nasty planning ahead depending on how deep goes the Force Majeure (i.e. Coronavirus rider droppage).  One option is "Forever Weekend" scheduling on subways.  Otherwise a long-term subways closure may not be out of question as events require.  The need for R-32s seem to be leaving us all!

Note that WMATA is already full-time weekend scheduling and MBTA will be following next Monday.  Here we go...

Does anyone know how many R32s will be on the C tomorrow 

0

There will also be 0 R179s on the (C) also

The (A) however, will most likely have a set or 2 of R32s, with the remaining sets being R46s or R179s

Now honestly would be a good time for (MTA) to do some heavy maintenance and possibly go all local.

Could even make a big dent in CBTC installation prep or actual installs.
