why do u copy toronto

[Skipper200]

@KewlBoy20 As far as I know, they aren't copying Toronto, in fact Toronto uses a entirely different type of Trains in their fleet.

i like these trains because they carry more people. It seems easier to get on and off the trains and i like the announcement what the next station is. The time is a convenient addition as well.

Or I could be like everyone else on here and bitch and whine and complain because nothing is ever good enough and nothing ever will ever be good enough

@hi68415 ride your car then if you don't like people staring at you.

Better yet move to northwest territories. There's no one there to stare at you

stop whining

[garycalgary]

@KewlBoy20 because we can copy toronto if we tootin well please.

Now I need to correct you. Toronto is copying calgary by putting in an LRT line. Toronto has a SUBWAY line. They are 2 different systems. Google it for more info,.

i hate this type of c-train. This c-train you have to look at people because ur sitting sideways. the other types of c-trains i like. you could just stare out the window.

I hate taking the C-train. You meet weird people on the train, there's a fight occasionally, theres always delays, always a pedestrian or bicyclist killed, c-train power usually goes out and need shuttle buses, so many people are on it and no seats for people who are in need of the seats. Damn am I lucky I can drive now.

@6geology As a note, this new config has an increased carrying capacity of about 50% greater than the old layout, and I think I speak for most people when I say "I just want to get to work/home"

these trains are ok, but when its busy i dont like to face someones ass when on the seat, i prefer the older ones with window seats

@KewlBoy20 from what i see, toronto uses really different trains that aren't overhead powered
