If TTC is to have 2 cars this month, then 4438 has to be ship from Thunder Bay between June 20-24. As to when TTC will received it, is all up to CP. I guess 4435 wasn't important to CP as well generating revenue like other cars that replace 4435 in route.Maybe will see 4440 arrive early like 4435 did. 4437 entered service around 10 days similar to the ones earlier this year. Hopefully it won't take over 3 weeks like 4435 did.
It was early September when BBD delivered the 8th car of the year in 2016.
I think this article is a lot of sound a fury signifying nothing. Mostly it talks about minor problems that are being dealt with as they crop up. The Toronto Rockets had problems when thy first were rolled out. The T1's probably did. I would even bet that all the secretaries of H cars and even the G series of cars had problems. Having problems with anew transit vehicle isn't new. I think people need to give this issue a rest. The TTC has made the decision to buy the cars from Bombardier and nothing short of an extreme catastrophic failure or them not being able to deliver all the vehicles by the end of 2019 will change anything.Wake me up when in another 2 years or so when we don't see these issues. #60 car will be 2 years late than plan.
Bombardier streetcars likely to miss reliability target

Frankly, no.Could imagine if the TTC did something like this:

The contract specifies a MDBF of 35,000km. If the cars only attain 5000, 6000, or 34,999km MDBF, that is a breach of contract. It's nice that you consider them "minor problems", and that having problems with new transit vehicles is an established thing, but if the contract says 35,000km MDBF, that's what needs to happen, period.
Unless you've seen the contract, you don't know what the exact process is for handling failure to perform. As Metrolinx recently discovered in court, you can't just say "it's over, we're done here" if there are negotiation clauses which kick in.The contract specifies a MDBF of 35,000km.
