This is what the driverless trains on the Ontario Line will look like.
The international consortium tasked with designing the trains released new renderings and details on how the trains will move an expected 30,000 people per hour in each direction.
“Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx reached an agreement with Hitachi Rail’s Connect 6ix consortium to transform Toronto’s mass transit network via the 15.6 km Ontario Line subway project, consisting of athat will run up to every 90 seconds through heart of the city,” said GFG Rail, an Italian company commissioned to create the renderings, in a Monday press release.
“The trains, moving up to 30,000 people per hour in each direction and stopping in 15 stations, will be packed with the latest technology.” The consortium says they’ll also feature Wi-Fi, charging points, dedicated spaces for bicycles and wheelchairs, and heating and cooling systems. The trains will have continuous carriages, like those that currently operate on the TTC’s Line 1 Yonge-University, however they’re expected to have about half the capacity of Line 1 trains.An operating concept for the Ontario Line, released by the province in 2020, suggested that each train would have four cars and a total capacity of 600 passengers. It also suggested running 34 trains at peak periods until 2041, at which point frequency would be increased to 40 trains per hour for peak periods.
