Huh they look better than the ION vehicles! Despite the depressing livery

Thanks! That looks rather disappointing compared to the TTC Flexities, which squeeze 8 seats above the step - despite the TTC streetcars being a bit narrower. Hopefully there's a lot of handholds - couldn't really see clearly in the video, as they didn't look up.
Odd that there doesn't seem to be any accessibility seating.

LOL! Of course Toronto would go with grey.

Metrolinx says that's because one it's in service, it will be considered as part of the subway system, and the underground TTC vehicles have a metal finish.

I call BS on Metrolinx' behalf. The subway cars themselves have always had dashes of color that would fit in with the TTC's pallet or just color in general. The T1s have the red doors, and the TRs have the red handrails. There are no excuses here. Also, a band of red doesn't really differentiate itself from the subway as a whole. The SRT has plenty of colors that resemble the buses, so I genuinely think this is a cost saving measure at this point, or part of Metrolinx' new black branding. Either way, it looks like shit.

its better than the green advertised in the early renderings, and better than orange or line colour so they can be used on different lines in the future

Accessiblility seating is in the modules with double doors.

Green or orange would be pretty sweet. And I don't get Metrolinx's reasoning to look like the subway. Well I would if it looked like the subway, which is silvery metal. This seems white. And with the dark grey strip seems a dead ringer for their recent black+white logo change. Maybe they should've went with the GO colour scheme.

Imagine them trying to copy the subway livery and then the TR 2's get a red livery. ?

Dont mind Metrolinx and their "reasoning" for the grey livery on the LRVs. Their explanation for makes as much sense as much sense as their explanation/reasoning for the station names (ie: it doenst make any sense).
I wonder if they got the consultants to come up with the livery as well.

I didn't see any blue seats in the video. Only having in one car seems like a poor idea - do they really want those with limited mobility walking through the entire car, while it's moving?
There should be more seats in more of the modules.

The seat pattern looks very 90s inspired, and not in a good way.
Off-white and grey for the exterior doesn't make sense to me. I guess they want to associate it with the subway as much as possible.

there are 2 modules per vehicle with double doors. they are labeled on the exterior with the accessibility symbol. when coupled in pairs that makes 4 accessible modules. when 3 are coupled together there will be 6 accessible modules.
