Forgive me if this has been discussed before, I am new to ssp Portland, but with the new extension opening in September how many more streetcars are on order?
How many streetcars does the city currently have in it's fleet?
Are there any plans to increase the headways between trains?
When I visited your city a couple summer's ago I remember waiting a long time for the streetcar to arrive(not like I was in a hurry though). None the less it was a pretty wicked system and made me jealous that Calgary doesn't a streetcar along our active corridors. It's good to see ridership increasing steadily though:
