It's the same module configuration as the TTC streetcars we ride every day.
There were no blue seats ... just how frigging incompetent is Metrolinx and Bombardier that they haven't used the blue fabric on the accessible seats?

Metrolinx and Bombardier are not required to adhere to TTC interior guidelines which require normal seats to be a deep red and accessible seats to be blue. Since all the seats have blue in the fabric pattern, having an all blue seat could be a cause for confusion.

This is absolutely not what the staff said at the open houses, nor what the presentation materials stated at them, either. The surface stops would all be operated as if they were part of the streetcar network - if there is no one waiting at the stop, or requests a stop from onboard, the vehicle continues through.

They don't have to. That doesn't mean they are incompetent fools if they don't ... and use blue fabric everywhere (it didn't look that close to that particular shade of blue to me).

Seriously guys whats the point in overanalyzing this. YRT has blue for all their seats and other agencies have their own colours. What TTC does is for themselves. You dont see GO buses have designated blue seats do they?
Only in UT forums and transit fanatics do we analyse every shade of colour and thread on what really is a trivial matter. As long as theres a proper designated area whether by seat colour or signage then thats good enough

These things are ugly as sin but luckily something like seat fabrics and paint jobs can be changed later down the road, so no big deal.
Build this thing asap and later we can swap the seats out for red and blue when they need replacing and repaint a nicer colour when thats needed too.

Honestly sure the grey on the outside looks like the subway... I guess? sort of?
But the interior does not. If they wanted the interior to look like the subway they should have gone with red seat covers and metal poles with the red antimicrobial finish.
This would look more like the subway

Very disappointed by the grey livery.
I think this is about a territory/branding war between TTC and Metrolinx. Note that the seat colour is more in-tune with the Metrolinx colours. *Takes off tinfoil hat*.

Forget the livery. Signal priority matters a million times more for this project.

Gray is an awful colour for visibility (to car drivers) on the at-grade sections.

I think the signaling will mirror the viva rapidways where left turns will be restricted. If that's the case it shouldn't be an issue since there will be noone turning while a train is crossing the intersection

I wonder why they didn't go for a solid red/maroon.

But there is nothing to stop it if anyone turns.

People not following protected left turn signals? Many intersections have these already, people will just have to get used to them being along Eglinton.
