This is precisely what happened in Boston, where the MBTA bought the Breda

passenger riding the car commented that the ride just didn't feel right.
The Bredas are now all out of service again.
What did Breda do? Instead of fixing the cars to make them able to run on
the T's tracks, it suggested that MBTA rebuild its entire trackway system.
The MBTA agreed.

That was another thing I have against them, one of the French technicians
was complaining about our track, actually, some of our track is ordinary,
but most is good) and I made the coment, if you have around 200km of track
(our part) would'nt you buy a car that will run on it rather than try and
upgrade all that track so this primadonna can run smoothly on it?
