Since there is only one size to make, tooling cost is less. The only issue I thought there would be is when the separated parts are joined together via hinges and whether they would still maintain its alignment even after the paint goes on. I guess the final QA does not include a pushing it on a roller to make sure it goes straight.

LOL, I usually ride it real hard, and I don't want to go into the office or train station and sweat like a faucet for the next 10 minutes, especially in the summer. At least if it is the PATH train in WTC, the station is air conditioned and there are these giant cooling ducts where I can stand in front of until the train comes. This summer, its been pretty much WFH, so its the same scenario except the final stop is home.
