BOSTON – Instead of rehabbing some of its Red Line cars, the MBTA is instead opting to throw more business to CRRC, the company already contracted to build new train cars at its Springfield facility.
MBTA officials say it’s cheaper to buy new ones by $300,000 per car, rather than overhauling aging trains that were first put into service in the mid-1990s and remain in use.
