Urban Tech Links: UTL: 2019

Platforms are the locations where passengers will wait for and board trains. Stations will have one, two or three platforms, which can be either a side or center type of platform. Side platforms have tracks on one side and will be 240 feet long and 12 feet wide. Center platforms have tracks on both sides and will be 240 feet long and 30 feet wide.

All platforms will be high-level (at the same level as the rail vehicle floor) to provide level boarding for all passengers and to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, etc.

"The line will use 256 ft (78 m) four-car train sets, each with the capacity to carry about 780 passengers, similar in weight to light rail systems elsewhere in the United States (such as the MAX in Portland, Oregon), as opposed to heavier, and thus more expensive, lines found on rapid transit systems like the subways and elevated systems of Chicago and New York City."

Vancouver's Canada-Line Skytrain

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-skytrain-new-trains-in-service

Building the 3rd line to not even have 80 m stations was so foolish. However, 50 m stations are quite a contrast from the long 152.5 m Montreal Metro stations.

The line is solely operated with the TTC's newer Toronto Rocket (TR) subway trains, which are based on Bombardier's Movia family of trains. Unlike other trains in the Toronto subway rolling stock, the TR trains have a "six-car fixed" articulated configuration with full-open gangways, allowing passengers to walk freely from one end to the other.
