As someone in the tech space I'd say that one potential partial solution is for Translink to use/fund FOSS Hardware as a cheaper source for replacement parts

this could also be a universal collaborative funding project/proposal with other provinces and states
- maybe Louis Rossman might also be interested in this as it would tie into the Right-to-Repair movement

god I really hope we don't lose Canada's best transit system, this is too close to home fuck

Not Like This

I would like to see it too, but I don't think there is currently in the FOSS sphere that is even remotely close to commercial availability or has the certified, turnkey type of solutions that the industry suppliers offer.
