Just took Line 6 EB again today and noticed a significant speed improvement since the last time I used the service. Departed Humber College at 18:35 and arrived 19:08 at Finch West (33 min travel time). Only hit 3 reds (Albion, Jane, and Sentinel).

Operator also seemed much more comfortable operating the train and we hit line speed between nearly every station segment. It almost seemed like enhanced TSP was functioning given that signal after signal changed to green immediately in front of us.

Most noticeable issues with the speeds are now the slow performance around curves and the 25 limit through intersections, which is noticeably more strictly adhered to compared to streetcars/Line 5.
 
They. Are. Synonymous. Terms.
Agreed. It's infuriating to have operational policy dictated by the equivalent of an annoying university seminar debate over terminology that derails the whole class.

LRT = Tram = Streetcar.

Line design and operating plan is the whole ballgame. We don't have a different set of road rules for cars and horseless carriages, after all.
