I want the Eglinton LRV to be red to troll people into thinking it's a streetcar.
I hope eventually they come to their senses and repaint them red.
They are such a boring grey now.

He problem is, the general public dont know know that. For all they know it's the same thing because they look the same. They really should've made the body distinctively different so they wouldn't confuse the two.You mean they are a modern LRV with the flexibility to run longer trains during peak demand periods then run shorter more demand-appropriate trains during less busy times....allowing the system to provide service through the peaks and valleys of demand times?
So basically it is a streetcar.
Cost consideration
Maybe you should tell that to all the systems who are purchasing EMUs around the world with open gangways. Those are a single vehicle yet also a train. The Flexity Freedom is NOT a streetcar. Anyone telling you otherwise is WRONG.Yeah, pretty much. Very similar interiors and exteriors. About 100 millimetres wider, and 600 millimetres longer.
Of course, these can be put in into trains of multiple streetcars - but anyone trying to tell you a single vehicle is a train, is wrong!
The only way the TTC and Metrolinx could have lessened the Flexity Freedoms from being compared to a streetcar is not to buy the Flexity Outlooks in the first place.Maybe you should tell that to all the systems who are purchasing EMUs around the world with open gangways.

But will the livery be the same in delivery.Don't like the livery colours.
Who gives a damn about the livery if it does the job? Note that the Nova bus and LFLRV flashy livery do squat for those routes' actual performance. Signal priority, dedicated ROW and route management are infinitely more important for this route's (and others like it) success. For god's sake.
