New trams? The saga drags on

Still no announcement on who will supply the new trams that will replace the older Tram 2000s. Latest reports suggest that there has been a standoff between VBZ and ZVV, with ZVV refusing VBZ's recommendation and insisting on seeking the opinion of an external consultant. However, VBZ refused this over fears the external consultant would not respect the non disclosure agreement and pass on sensitive information to competitors. The case is presently pending appeal. How wistful the simpler days when experts real were experts and could take decisions in house.
