because they work, and they don't require having a heating system like on Finch that doesn't work as well as its suposed to. Alos if they aren't workig eetricly its easy to move them maunauly then with a double-bladed switch

which work better than the ones on line 6

Not really, most of that time was construction, they only started testing the vehicles about three years ago and had numerous software updates during that time.

It looks like it's a different mechanism for opening them between the two models.

Probably exactly the way that are operating lines 5 and 6. Why would you want to introduce another layer into it if you don't have to?

Only if they want to provide shuttle buses when the line is down, that was part of the reason why the TTC is operating the line beacuse they said that if they weren't operating it, they wouldn't provide shuttle buses

The Ontario line is planned to be fully automated, with the TTC only providing staff for the stations.

it would be even better if the Olive Garden fails again, we don't need that American crap restaurant here.

The fare gates omit go transit because you don't need to go through them to get to the Go train from the station, so you don't need to use them for that.

In Toronto you don't have to tap off for the TTC only tap on. That's why they have a separate hallway for people who are just walking through and not going onto either line 5 or line 2 or taking a bus from there.

You don't have to do that if you enter through the new building on the go train platform or the other one by the passenger drop off at Kennedy there is a hallway that bypasses the fare gates to go to and from the go train without paying a TTC fair.

I spoke with a TTC supervisor about that on sunday and they said they are working on adding the third car. Apparently, there was a software problem that was causing them to not work well in a three car tarin set, but they are hoping to have it solved by the summer

It's because it's owned by Metrolink, which is owned by the provicne and as a requirement of the province everythig needs to be in both official languages. I believe the TTC is looking into having both when the line 2 and line 1 extensions open so as to avoid having one section having English...

or just people who are riding because it's free. At both Kebedy and Mount Denis today, I saw people staying on the train to go back the other way, well, the minority of people were gettig off the train.

It's probably because of a change in fire codes and also with it being a new building added to an existing one. It's like how when you go from one building to another in the path you have to go through a set of doors.
