Metrolinx uses this symbol for subways and light rail, so it seems the TTC decided to adopt it instead of creating something new.

Good change. Now the old streetcar symbol needs to go to. It is confusing for younger people who have never seen a CLRV.

Which is a good thing. The TTC and MX wayfinding standards need to come as close as possible, esp. with symbols. Fonts and the exact pantone of a line bullet don't matter. But using different symbols within the same station for the same type of service is silly.

They called this out as a concern in the wayfinding strategy they adopted back in October (along with short staffing and how inconsistent the TTC's own signage is). My thinking is the new standard might be a "branded" version of what Metrolinx developed.

They actually have an LFLRV symbol. Its rollout appears to be pretty limited. I’m guessing because not much new signage was needed.

No rush - they took decades to update the symbol with a CLRV from a PCC. There's still the occasional PCC symbol around.
