The staircase in the CN Tower is 351 metres to the restaurant (overall height: 553.33 metres). So 58m is not bad for an able-bodied person.

Lazy people of course will just countine taking the elevator or escalator of course!

To be honest, I've started doing that in subway stations haha

The surface stops should operate like streetcar stops in my opinion, and underground stops like the subway

This would just lead to confusion, in my opinion. The fact that it has undergone stations, to me, means it should stop at every stop.

Well, the above ground stops are basically just repackaged St Clair ROW stops

Isn't this marketed as Line 5 (and as part of the "subway" system) though? If the way it's operated, from a customer perspective, is different from the rest of the system, I'd rather not call it Line 5. I know, semantics and nitpicking, but just trying to avoid causing confusion and frustration.

Yes this is marketed as Line 5 and apart of the subway system.

Honestly no, level boarding alone is a gamechanger. The platforms should also be much wider, have info screens, better shelters, and presto readers.

They better have a fare vending machine at each surface station.

I will be curious to see if final signage refers to it as Subway and uses a Subway Icon . . .

Line 3 signage at times uses different icons for subway and SRT. I expect there'll ultimately be subtle and inexplicable differences on Line 5 and Line 6 signage as well.

And heaters!

Make them body sensing. Turn off when no one there.

Heat goes up, cold goes down. Better to have the heaters at floor level (in-floor heating best).

I thought they were a fair bit more elaborate than the St Clair stops, although they are still being called "stops" and not "stations"

Indeed a bit more elobarate than a streetcar stop.

Still less substantial than ION and Viva.

A stop that can be accessed from both sides. That's a first in TO.
