The capacity that these cars will add will improve service on off peak hours but do nothing to rush hour service. They already have 5 minutes between trains which is the maximum because of 7th ave.
Subways cost a lot to build. The high costs of C-Train accidents also cost a lot in terms of repairs, man hours, and opportunity costs. After so many years in service the 2 must be close to being the same amount.
