Are these what we're getting for our LRT?
I rode one of the four currently in operation on the 510 Spadina line this weekend. The trains are great. Quiet, smooth, comfortable, etc.
TTC fare collection sucked however. Perhaps it's because there are so few of these trains in operation and people are still unfamiliar with the procedures but they had a human at the fare vending machine on the train to explain to passengers how to purchase fares. I had a subway token in hand and needed help in figuring out how to pay for my fare with it. OTOH people with Presto cards just had to tap them on any of several sensors in each car.
