There is word coming out now that Flexities will be used during the King transit pilot. Who knows what the plan will be tomorrow?

I'd think you'd do both. Say 40 Flexities on 504, and 10 on 514 at peak. Might just have enough by the end of fall, if you run CLRVs on 509/510.well that would require the 514, not the 504 route, which already has 5 flexities running on it right now
In all three cases, the TTC will be running new, larger streetcars for the duration of the pilot in order to allow for more reliable service and more passengers, and transportation services will be giving streetcars priority at traffic lights.
Not going to happen using CLRV on 509/510. A Human Rights complaint would be file on day one.I'd think you'd do both. Say 40 Flexities on 504, and 10 on 514 at peak. Might just have enough by the end of fall, if you run CLRVs on 509/510.
Not sure how you get complaints on 509/510, but not on 505/506. Can always run buses.Not going to happen using CLRV on 509/510. A Human Rights complaint would be file on day one.
Testing isn't until fall (i.e. late September to late December).You would have a mixture on 504 with all 10 on 514 by April/May, depending on BBD deliveries for this year.
Then the TTC shouldn't be letting the Star think there will be.The 514 Cherry route will be fully converted by summer and serve the pilot area. There are not enough new streetcars in the near term to fully equip a large route like King.
True....but given how much press the slooooowww delivery of the new cars has gotten...you would think the Star (and other media) would be sharp enough to ask "will you have enough of those new cars to do that?"Then the TTC shouldn't be letting the Star think there will be.
There are a number accessibly riders who rely on the new cars on both routes today and to replace them with CLRV or buses will not fly with them or others to the point TTC would be up the shit creek with the Human Rights Commission on day one.Not sure how you get complaints on 509/510, but not on 505/506.
