The reason they went with those red seats was that they are harder to vandalize.The comfy bench seats we're getting ripped & torn by kids who have nothing better to do

i like the red squares no matter how hard they are they seem more comffy... i dont like the orange ones only bc they are so old and some just rip and i feel like they are a lot more dirty then the red ones... i could be wrong though considering the red ones are cloth and get more shit stuck to em

+1 to bench seats...
ive done the math
a trip from yonge station to v.p. via old bench seat trains ~ 11-13 minutes
"" "" red square trains ~ 13-15 minutes
due too big slow doors , lower top speed and acceleration due to restictors on the newer "t1" trains ......"yesum i must be bored on teh train"
(numbers could be different during rush hour as more people can get on off faster through the big doors)
wooo i love these old school blue seats! ....with the yellow walls ...pimpin
