Yeah the only reason they switched it was going between regular and left hand running required a lot of switching, all left hand would hypothetically be fine

Its in the burbs, not many people will be walking up compared to bus transfers.

Screens are 100% a minor change, and seating could be. You can't move the bogies but seats can 100% be moved and redesigned.

Its similar but not the same.

Batteries are the new hydrogen I see.

A network of LRT's only marginally faster than the buses they replace, exactly what people already using transit want their tax dollars spent on

No reason there can't be some minor changes with a new order. This isn't without precedent!

Its crazy this is happening, but very exciting!

I doubt there will be but, can we please get design improvements? These cars are a 10 year old design and surely we've learned lots. Remember those black stickers added to reduce glare for drivers? What about better internal displays and better seating designs?

They don't need to be going to STC to benefit, Kennedy is in Southwest Scarb. most riders are hence coming from the NE, by taking the subway closer to them you reduce their travel time by getting them off buses and onto trains sooner. Why are they building a railyard in industrial lands next to...

It's way better than Toronto IMO

I and others have absolutely complained about them in other places, but as mentioned clearly the argument and value judgement are not the same for an extension . . . I and others have long argued for lines like Eglinton West to be above ground, nobody is saying the problem with the TRs is...

You are talking about false comparisons but for whatever reason you keep suggesting only the RL would go to Don Mills? The OL will likely get to Don Mills before the old plan reached Science Center. The TR's are a bad train and I am not sure what the obsession with using them is. Further I am...

You keep arguing like the choice is between a Relief Line to Don Mills but the OL will only go to SC? It is 100% the case that OL sets us up to get to Don Mills much faster. Again, you argue the capacity is drastically lower when the difference is <20% . . . You keep arguing that it needs...

Because one line with insufficient capacity (not as bad as many seem to suggest in my eyes), is better than half a line with extra capacity that doesn't provide adequate relief for at least an extra decade?

We have a terrible history of building transit projects and building them quickly in Toronto, not sure why that needs to be explained. A complete OL is better than an incomplete RL. It's not impossible, but if it was going to happen it would have, it would be much more expensive and difficult...

Well . . .

They cannot run on streets in service for regulatory reasons, they are not designed to withstand a crash from a vehicle. There is 100% an agreed upon definition.

You can though, there is almost nothing that could not be relocated at the end of a subway platform (we have done mining before for station expansions) if it is absolutely infeasible you can use SDO, it isn't that hard. Why should we be concerned about a line getting built half way to where it...

LRV does mean something. LRV's are street running capable units that are self contained, the REM cars are not LRVs.
