Undetermined.

The current order of 63 cars has 35 allotted to 4 car implementation, with the remaining cars to be used to replace some of the oldest model of cars, which will be retired.

In order to implement 4 car trains 100% of the time, about another 30 cars would be needed on a subsequent order. The current fleet is 192 cars, adding a car to each 3 car subset means 64 additional cars total. More cars are also needed to replace all of the oldest model of vehicles (about 55).

In the interim, available cars will likely be strategically implemented so that 4 car service is more heavily concentrated during rush hour and for events (Flames games, Stampeders games, concerts, Stampede, etc.).
