Here are some phone pics of the new trains

Cool pics, thanks! Those bogies look complex!
Who's idea was it to put polished red benches though? I've heard a lot of complaints about existing seats being to slippery, these look treacherous. |
Awesome share!
|
I really like the look of the new trains!

Are these being assembled here in Calgary?

I'm pretty disappointing they are again using hard plastic seats. Can we at least try to make public transit enjoyable?

Thumbs up for having a flat bench seat as it is an improvement over the current 'bucket seat' design that doesn't allow people to slide along the bench to comfortably space themselves. Thumbs down for the bench being hard plastic without any sort of padding. Definitely does not look like a comfortable way to spend 30 minutes on your way downtown.

Durability and ease of cleaning are far more important to transit agencies than the slight bit more comfort you might get if the seats had a bit of padding. |

The have similar hard benches on the newer trains in NYC, and they are are actually pretty comfortable to sit on. At the end of the day though they are probably much more practical when it comes to cleaning and longevity...."comfort" is pretty far down the line when it comes to a commuter train packed with people. Most people will be standing anyway.

The colours and swoosh sure look like a coke can.

Wish they would get rid of the tedious button to open doors but it's still here. Sigh
I understand those that argue closed doors will keep it warmer during winter time but it will only be open for a few seconds anyways so I'd rather be cold for a bit than having to press a stupid button. Just my personal $0.02 probably absolutely nobody agrees on. That and now since the door arrangement is different from the other cars, there is no possibility for APGs even though there never was in the first place. That was another one of my reasons to want button less doors. That would've meant synchronized doors which could've opened the possibility for APGs. Also, it would've been nice to have fully articulated trains. But no, Calgary Transit is still too behind the times... Am I asking for too much? Lol |

It's totally different from the one they showed in the poll |
Yeah that doesn't look very similar...
So once they roll these out, are the original C-train cars done for good? |
