   Metro's new 7000-series railcars have been billed as much better than   
   the oldest 1000-series railcars and a huge leap towards a safer and more   
   reliable system. But the railcars are suffering from software problems.   
      
   Deputy General Manager Rob Troup told Metro board members on Thursday that   
   manufacturer Kawasaki Rail Car is delivering only eight to 12 new railcars   
   per month, rather than the 16 it would receive under normal circumstances.
