#Munich is getting 90 extra long #trains for €2bn (A$3.35bn, $37m per unit), deliveries from 2028.
#Brisbane is getting 65 trains (and maintenance), deliveries from 2026 to 2032 for A$9.5bn ($146m per unit).
Why are Australians paying about 4 times more than Germans per train? NGR trains are 146m long, The new Siemens trains will be 202m long. Don't know if the German contract includes maintenance.
