Ahh, Septa got caught. hehehehe fun when that happens ![Happy :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Gee - no surprise how Rotem got the order, looks like political pressure wins again![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
As an aside, for all the Rotem bashing going on, look who barely beat them out. Rotem could make serious inroads in the US if they learn that being slightly better than Bombardier and a lot cheaper, is really all that you need...
Kawasaki's subway cars are nice, the LIRR's bilevels are nice (even if obscenely heavy), and I've heard the new meta stuff's pretty good. But I'm not at all surprised the Japanese would score high technically...
