The 30 metre cars can hold 69 seated passengers or around 230 passengers with standees. Inside, the cars will feature two spaces for bicycles, SVASAS (automated announcements), passenger assistance alarms and intercoms, and CCTV cameras.
In 2007, the TTC consulted the public on design of the new streetcars. Websites were launched for input and mock-ups from Bombardier and Siemens displayed. In June, a Bombardier Flexity Swift built to Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro Transit specifications was displayed at Yonge-Dundas Square. This mock-up was previously displayed in 2005 in front of the Hummingbird Centre. At the 2007 Canadian National Exhibition, the TTC displayed the Bombardier mock-up again along with a Siemens Combino Plus mock-up built to Metro Sul do Tejo specifications. On promotional material Bombardier also used the image of the Flexity Outlook built for Brussels. In May 2010, the TTC solicited the public's help again wih the launch of a new Website called Toronto Meet Your New Ride. This Website asked the public to design and submit their own livery and interior scheme for consideration. They are also asked to submit names for the new streetcar.
