I would argue that this is longer since they have been running 11 monorails for almost 2 years now. So without that extra monrail, how much extra time does that require each of the others run and how many more years does that put on the entire fleet.
A very valid point. I was simply trying to say that age of the trains is not the only issue here. On a proper maintenance schedule, (with proper funding) the trains certainly could have more life in them no matter how many hours they put in each day. It remains to be seen whether Disney is willing to put forward a boatload of cash to refurb the fleet to carry it another 10 or 15 years, or put forth even more cash to upgrade the trains and system entirely.
I'm honestly not sure they are going to choose either option at this point. Based on decisions made at WDW as of late, I see them just putting additional band aids on the problem.
