Agree as I see no reason it should be on the left when riders get on the right. Now if it was going white in place of amber, I am all for it as a larger number of small and large systems have or in the process. Mississauga is going white starting with 2023 buses.

Went to Lambton today to checkout the report of 4632 and 4633 been there, but saw nothing and they could be hidden from sight.
Stop off at Hillcrest to see if one of the cars was there and a car was there. Talk about cars being out of order for delivery, the car at the loading dock was really out of order as it was 4644. Haven't seen this big gap in all the cars that have been delivery since 2017. There been a few cases where cars have been off loaded due to the number of cars at Lambton where CP took the closes one out of order.

Makes it easier to see from across the street if it's the streetcar you need to catch. The same idea Line 5 underground stations will employ by providing arrival information before even entering the building.

True to a point if you can catch the car in the first place trying to cross the street safety and on a route that has 2 or more lines. Since most TTC lines only see one line other than King or a line on detour, no need for that Destos. All underground stations will state the arrival time and no need to display the route number when there is only one line in the first place.
Otherwise, I cannot think of any system I rode on Europe having a Destos on the non rider side. I have seen Next vehicle signs showing when x will show up at a station that is service by more than one line with all lines time being display.

The route number?
Yes it would - though invariably it's to know which car you've just missed!
There was once though, I ran across the street (at a crossing) and jumped on - only to find out later it was a 501 not a 504! As much as putting them on the left would be nice. I don't know why they don't have any indication once you are inside!

4631 is over at Russell being fitted for service in about a week from now.
4633 was off loaded today at Hillcrest and is now tracking in the service bays at the Barns.
4644 has spent the last todays after it started it testing and burn in on December 8
4627 is sitting on the overpass in Lambton yard waiting to be delivery to Hillcrest
Once 4627 is off loaded, TTC will have 31 of the new 60 cars on its property.

TTC now has 32 out 60 new cars on its property as 4635 was off loaded today and not surprise to see another before Christmas, We are now missing 4632, 4634, 4636 and 4637-4643 with all these deliveries out of order.. At the current rate, they will be all here well before the end of 2025.
4644 is at Russell the few day and depending on the holidays, it may hit the road by year end

Friday December 27 saw 4636 delivery to Hillcrest to be off loaded sometime this week
4635 yesterday saw it completed its burn in
4633 went over to Russell Boxing day for SWIS work before entering service the week of January 5th depending on holiday work.
4644 will be interesting to see if it will enter service before year end considering it been here since Dec 2
