| Comment | SPT only have like 13-15 trains, and something like 12 are operating at peak times.
They currently need night hours for maintenance. Sure, you can always say so why so few trains - reason is our subway is a completely unique gauge/width of track across the world, and any new trains need to be custom made. They can't just be bought 'off the shelf' so to speak, so this vastly increases the cost of fleet expansion.
The fault of this basically lies with the original design of our subway. The cost is baked in to the system now, and it's never been worthwhile adding a few new trains here or there. The new automated train fleet will come in 2020 though. They dont need drivers, and so there might be a possibility of longer operating hours. |
