Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

It's really frustrating how Metrolinx is constructing every transit line to different parameters & specifications. Even different voltage setups for the electrical systems for both the Finch and Eglinton LRT lines.

Why does Metrolinx seem to see no value in any kind of standardization/ interoperability among Toronto's transit line?

The lack of interoperability among Toronto' newest transit lines is going to be expensive in the long run.

Kind of ironic with how highly standardized GO Transit is, especially with something like the bilevels.

It's has to be one of the GO train's biggest strengths. It makes the system so versatile and efficient. Not just in terms of operations but also in managing staff and ordering spare parts. Plus using existing infrastructure.

How many different types of rolling stock does the city of Toronto require? So now we have to train mechanics to maintain every different type of train, and train drivers to operate every different type of train. Order different parts/ components for all the different rolling stock. What a nightmare to manage. More people on the government payroll to oversee all of this.
