That's possible, but unlikely. If I'm not mistaken, the full R160 order provides enough cars for scrapping all cars up to and including the R42s. You mean 2020? That’s possible, but unlikely.

The U.S. DOT is still committed to give the MTA $354 million upfront for implementing it. Once implemented, it would generate $500 million a year. That would fill in almost half of the $10 billion gap. Congestion pricing is an obvious answer.

The $600mm in asset sales/pay-go/other sources is a separate chunk of funding. Dave Ben,
