If you have ever been in Montreal you will know that the Metro there is FAR less frequent than the TTC subway here so whether it accelerates faster is not really much help. In fact, in Montreal people run for the platform when they hear a train coming, here few bother as the next one will be along very soon.Shame. It really allows the trains to fly in old Toronto where the stops are closer together.
At least Montreal has the right idea, not only do their trains accelerate like a jackrabbit (in part due to the rubber tire design), but apparently their new trains are going to accelerate even FASTER. I believe I read somewhere that part of their strategy to increase capacity on their system was to increase how quickly their trains move through the system.
