Has there been any update as to when the glass atrium will be illuminated? Is that still happening?
Also, any update as to when they install the public art in the moat?
4178 made its service debut today since being made over. It looks great! Would be nice if this car could be saved too, though I don't think that's in the plans.
A Streetcar Named Toronto
This is where it’s starting to border on the ridiculous (in my view anyway). The MTR is absolutely destroyed by rioters. The system is shut down. Now you’ve got some activists calling the shutdown an act of aggression, martial law, anti-democratic, etc. It’s like some sort of feedback loop. I...

Bombardier could probably produce a custom vehicle for the TTC. One that uses LIMs, automatic train control, and packaged for the SRT. It'll probably cost more, but...
I mean they also have to navigate a 12 or 18 metre box around the city and help with directions.
Also, what would a fare wage be for someone where they are expected to get spit on or the shit beaten out of them over $3? Would you want to do the job? Would others?
