“Brian Kane, executive director of the MBTA Advisory Board group that represents cities and towns who help fund the T, views the setback as the latest sign that the T inked a ‘bad deal.’
‘The T doesn’t have a great track record of introducing new vehicle technologies and new vehicle manufacturers to the United States market,” he said. “This whole procurement has been done incorrectly from day one, and now we’re living with those consequences. It’s going to cost us an awful lot more money.'”
