Mock-up? No, that's the real deal.
My mistake. Is there any more coverage on the new subway cars other than what you posted and the Twitter link that was posted?
Mock-up? No, that's the real deal.
On the provincial website there was a video which came with the streetcar funding announcement which shows the progress being made on the new streetcars.
Sweet! I can't wait to use the new trains.
What are those other bi-level trains shown in the video? They're blue, white and red.
Say, why is the rest of world using GREEN for their exit signs, while Ontario uses RED? Doesn't RED mean STOP? And GREEN mean GO? I do think the TTC uses green at the turnstiles for exit, opposite to Ontario standards for exit.
The green exit icon with the Chinese character and the English word 'EXIT' below (3rd photo in the linked page) was borrowed from Hong Kong's MTR. Interestingly, since pretty much every Chinese subway system (with the exception of the original Beijing subway, which predates the MTR) has styled its signage after the MTR, that green icon can be seen in almost every Chinese subway station.
