Nice. Now if they'd only spend some money to improve their customer service!
other than the fact that you can walk from one end of the train to the other they look pretty much the same to me?
.. and I sure as hell hope you can't open the window based on the 2nd image.. mmm tunnel asbestos

yeh i noticed the operable window too. the asbestos is one thing. idiots putting their body parts out the window is another.
the changes are in the little things. next station LED boards/LCD screens, security cameras, etc. the way the T1's are designed is actually pretty good so they didn't mess with the seat arrangment. a picture was posted in another forum comparing it to the hong kong cars which apparently the TTC looked at as a model.

The train in Gaugzhou was like that, I kept starring down to each ends, my friend thought I was crazy. I almost lost my mind :P
Bad thing is ... now it's gonna be harder for cops to arrest someone, since they can hide within the crowd more.

Sweet new machines, I like.
Too bad the problem with the TTC has nothing to do with the trains themselves...

maybe with the ATC arriving around the same time, the trains will be able to stop smoother and not so abruptly.

Not really. The trains stop so abruptly because they are either accelerating or breaking. If you notice, they accelerate until the last possible moment, then start breaking. That way, they keep the times down. Smoother breaking would mean breaking earlier, which would slow down the system.

You think getting a seat is tough now? Wait till these kick in! Yikes!
I thought the TTC was broke and we are getting new trains? Many systems around the world are still operating trains from 30, 40 and even 50 years ago. We just replaced ours 20-30 years ago. Remember the old red cars?
