What about orange? It is the color of the line.

Orange is too close to red such that under certain lighting conditions it becomes indistinguishable from red.

London Underground *tries* to match their straphanger poles to the colour of the line it is running on. But it's not always perfect due to interlining, etc.

should be the same color as the "damned" streetcars...

I mean, at least the time savings should make users happy compared to surface-level buses!

At the rate we get public transit projects built here, not just discussed and batted around politically, and of this scale to boot - I will take a pink dildo looking paint scheme , if it works and helps get us more transit lines.
To this point, I don't believe we should be spending loads of money on beautifying stations - make them accessible to all, concrete and well-enough designed that they function and can be expanded or easily retrofit in the future. We should keep doing this until we have a dozen or so actual underground lines, that criss-cross the city. Until then, let's refrain from building palace-like stations, a la the Spadina Extension to Vaughan. Furthermore, station integration within buildings is another absolute must - we cannot waste development opportunities and continue to build stand-alone station entrances - unless absolutely necessary.

Following by one or two y-e-a-r-s of testing. Followed by months with them out-of-service.

Then they could go with red and green, or red and silver. Kind of a streetcar, and kind of a higher-order transit at the same time.
A grey (silver) subway train in a brightly lit station looks very different from the same-colour LRT train in the street. They will achieve cohesion in the colour code, but not in how the trains look in their real environment.
Of course it is far more important that the line is getting built, and the colour is not a big deal. They can give another colour scheme to the next generation of ECLRT vehicles, or repaint this batch a few years later.

Back during August 24 to 27, the TTC ran single-track between Finch West and Sheppard West stations, after 11:30 PM. So single-track operation could be possible.

Would it kill them to release the complete video, or are we gonna have to wait another week for that?

Someone asked on twitter if a video was coming and the Crosstown team said that they have something to share in the next few days. I assume it's the full video or a cut-down version of the full ride.Would it kill them to release the complete video, or are we gonna have to wait another week for that?
