This will truly improve the transit options and travel times for people along Eglinton.

No, at launch they wont. The reason for this is that they purposely made the platforms longer than the trains so that as ridership goes up they can introduce either longer trains or couple together more units without the huge cost of a station rebuild.

They won't what?

@@parva9603it would appear that the person I was talking to has removed their comment. It was something about the number of trains used vs the platform length or something.

Should be Eglinton/Yonge once this line finally opens

A project like this would have been done in a matter of months in China.

Does the train not cover the entire platform?

It's designed in case when they decide to use 3 car set up but during most testing only 2 cars are used

Why is it still not in service

@TheJojoSimz 13 күн бұрын

I truly hate the seat layout. It has the same trash layout as the streetcars that feel crammed any time more the 7 people are in it. Wish they had subway car style layout

No safety glass .... Why?

@ttckid23 6 ай бұрын

There's an protection system GIDS which metrolinx made a video about

They need to install safety glass all over the subway stations as well

@@hakohito I would say voice that to metrolinx, because it would be more safer if they did

@PlanetLinuxChannel Ай бұрын

There are plans to add glass to one or two of the busiest transfer stations between Lines 1 and 2. Hopefully they’ll expand the idea to more in the future.

@@hakohito They are going to retrofit a few busy stations, but it would be cost prohibitive to do the whole system. They did a study, and found out it would cost almost as much as building another complete line.
