The cars move around fairly frequently, so it is hard to give specific numbers. Historically, the Green line has never had a large number of Rohr cars assigned to its yards, and the Yellow Line has seen fewer Rohrs in recent years, too.

At first almost all the bredas ran on the green line until 2001. At that time the green line start running most of the caf's. Now it runs most of the new Alstoms.
