If only one vehicle, by definition it's not a train. A train is a "series of railway cars".
It's just a car.

I keep seeing the same error though. And it is misleading - I've assumed along, that this would be minimum 2-car operation like the Eglinton line because of the consistent misuse of the word "train" by some posters. I'd also never realized that the forecast ridership was so low!semantics...we all get what he means..... dont need to be that anal
An engine with or without cars intended to operate on the main track at speeds in excess of 15 MPH or a track unit when so designated.
TTC is referring to the 5-module Flexity streetcars as a car.
Would a two-module streetcar be a train?
Toronto only has CLRVs and ALRVs? There's currently 14 Flexity vehicles in Toronto - do 14 vehicles not count for anything?What's your point? Outside of Toronto, nobody calls a 3+ segment rail vehicle a car. Toronto doesn't know any better because they only have CLRV's and ALRV's and the concept of a modern multi-segment LRV is something that is totally new and incomprehensible, so it's understandable I guess that the terminology sticks. You just don't know any better, so I can forgive that.
