Doing some railfanning in Toronto I see. As you can see the subways in Toronto hardly goes 50 km/h vs. the Skytrains that go 50 mph. But since you're doing TTC's Line 2 I feel it's also worth mentioning how some of the stations along Line 2 have similar names as some of the Skytrain Stations. In Toronto, we have Royal York Station where as in Vancouver you have Royal Oak Station. Toronto has Main Street Station, Vancouver has Main Street/Science World Station. Both cities have Lansdowne Station. Line 2 in Toronto & the Richmond/Brighouse branch of Canada Line. Kennedy Station in Toronto is actually quite similar to Commercial/Broadway Station in Vancouver. At Kennedy Station, the lower platform which is for Line 2 is a shared platform just like the Millenium Line platform & the upper platform despite being currently shut down also has the Spanish Solution just the Expo Line westbound platform. Even though TTC's Bombardier T1s don't serve Line 1 anymore. I thought it'd be worth mentioning how Union Station is kind of like Toronto's version of Vancouver's Waterfront Station. Both Stations are close by a body of water. Union Station is by Lake Ontario & Waterfront Station is by Pacific Ocean. Both Stations have conncetions to the airport. UP Express in Toronto & Canada Line in Vancouver. Both stations are terminal stations with connections to commuter rail networks that use the same double decker trains. GO Transit in Toronto & West Coast Express in Vancouver. Both Stations also have connections to ferry boats. Island ferries to Toronto Islands in Toronto & Seabus to North Vancouver in Vancouver. Another thing worth mentioning is like Calgary's Siemens-Duewag U2 C-Trains, Vancouver's UTDC Mk1s & Toronto's Bombardier T1s are some of the oldest transit rolling stock in Canada today.

If you ever have time i suggest visiting Hamilton as its probably the oldest transit agency in Ontario, if not Southern Ontario. It has too many XN60s and the future of Translink, LFS CNGs. It also has a fleet of disappearing D40LFs and XD40s. Hope ya give Hamilton a visit!

I work for a transit commission in Ontario and we have a good mix of Flyers and Novas and I find I like driving both for different reasons. I like Novas and our Hybrid Novas (the only hybrids we have are Novas, we only have diesel NFs so I don't know what those hybrids are like to be fair) because the ride is smoother and it's easier for me to find a comfortable position for my short stature to sit and reach the pedals comfortably. I like the NFs because of how much quicker they are but they make it a bit harder for me to find a comfortable position where I'm not straining my foot. Our Novas are hella slow tho, don't get me wrong. But I don't mind which one I get when I go to work.

As just a transit rider and petrolhead, I find it very interesting that the 1st gen and most 2nd gen LFSes had their engines pushed allll the way left. No wonder the 130s serving Metrotown, among many other routes that still have more 2nd gens than 3rds have the rear seats all bunched on the right. Also want to mention I love how the hybrid diesels sound. There's prominent turbo spooling and hybrid whine, wastegate flutter under heavy throttle and an aggressive exhaust note. Vaguely reminds me of an Eastern European diesel tank with hybrid noises thrown in

Nova is leaving the US due to the volume of new business (Bid wins) declining and thereby barely breaking even. Also, due to the increasing volume of Canadian orders, especially from Quebec operators, it made financial sense to focus on the Canadian market. With the exception of large repeat orders from NYCTA and Chicago CTA plus large single orders from Philadelphia and Baltimore, Nova's US footprint was not significant, with almost no presence west of the Mississippi. NFI dominates the US market, but Gillig is a smaller but significant force.
