Is that the official reason though? "The service cannot be stopped even for planned maintenance" doesn't sound like a reasonable constraint.

- rst 9y agoThey have been doing shutdowns of particular lines for planned maintenance, but almost always with replacement service in place (either other nearby subway lines, or for more isolated lines, buses). And then there are major tunnel repairs, which can lead to shutdowns of over a year. (There's an upcoming shutdown on the L which a lot of people are dreading, as there is no good replacement service of anything like the same capacity.)
