Word on the street is that Alstom cleared the trains to run at full speed again months ago. The city is holding out, for whatever reason. Perhaps because it would become an overblown public issue of the city restoring full speeds without a "permanent fix", despite the interim mitigations proving to be sufficient.
Reason #12455 the public should should remain somewhat detached to transit operations.
Certainly you yourself are treating the additional
5 minutes of end-to-end runtime like the entire thing is an unfixable failure. Truly a frustratingly shallow take once you add in the detail that
the trains can technically run full speed again already.
