How far will 55 cars get us?
I presume that is the bare minimum that we need to operate?

Good catch, we were all napping.
It's 55 trains.

I could be wrong, but wasn't the total price for the entire order somewhere around 2B, and ~700M being the 1/3 share from each level of government funding? Then it was revealed that 2B is the cost of 55, not 80?

The global number was 62 trains, and still is............
55 from this investment.
7 are 'growth' trains to service the Line 2 extension, and are being fully funded Metrolinx.
The 80 number included 18 trains for Line 1 growth.
Those trains are currently unfunded, but may be picked up as part of the Yonge North Extension project, TBD.
