As of right now MNCR has canceled their M9A order and is looking at buying some kind of double decked car and Siemens is to provide Two Dual Mode charger demonstrators for them to test out.Where is it written that M9A will not happen for MNCR?

The city is trying to get it electrified to eliminate the exhaust fumes from coming up into the buildings.Never heard of the city complaining about the fumes. If that is the case is there much more to be debated other than who is going to pay for electrification? It would not surprise me if it is eventually bundled up with Penn Access for Hudson Line.
