This strategy is very inconvenient if the car dies on these particular days, and crapping out on some of those days are a lot more expensive than other days, ie, a missed vacation flight. Obviously this poster has never worked in operations, where the whole operation shuts down for maintenance issues is a big net loss for the organization.

Personally, the dumbest operational strategy i have ever read. Also reads like an academic / consulting financial strategy to save money, like the railroads deferring regular track maintenance, until the tracks give way and the accident rail cars contain very poisonous / flammable contents. .

hi coach I would add to that strategy the new Boston transit green line which cost 2.3 billion and opened in 2022 and has to have over 50% of the track widened which they knew in 2021 and went forward with anyway ,There are parts of line where the cars go so slow that people actually could walk faster
