Question: When LRT vehicles enter service on a particular line, do they remain on that line for the entire day? Obviously, the frequency changes at different times of day, but what I am wondering is, will a vehicle on the NE-W line in the AM rush likely be on the same line in the PM rush?

The reason I ask, it perhaps the W line could/should get the old U2s in the AM rush when they'd be going downhill while full and uphill while mostly empty, and the newer vehicles when the opposite is true in the PM rush.

I'm not saying that Calgary Transit could/should allocate the vehicles like this, but I can see the NW-S folk (who make up the majority of riders) getting a tad cheesed when they're packed into a stuffy U2 in the middle of summer every time they ride.
