Here's a thought- some of the platforms are now ready for 4 cars; right? Like the newer ones.
Why not throw 4 cars on there now; letting people know those cars will only have the doors open at limited stops? That way people could get on at Bridlewood and not have to deal with people moving around once past the first few stops. Stop an extra 30 seconds at 1 St SW to allow people to move up to the other car.
That way there would also be room for the long distance commuters to get on at Centre Street heading south; which is one of the problem stations for people not being able to get on.

Its a good idea but in practice they can't have 4 car trains until all stations have been reconstructed and modified for it because for safety reasons alone you can't have a 4 car train stop at one station and then goto an older platform that can only accomodate 3. Yes there are new stations that are ready for it but all stations on that line would have to be ready for it to happen. For example let's consider each and every station platform from somerset to dalhousie. There's many that need to be modified for it. Also the train that you take on the NW-South line maybe on the NE-City Centre line tommorow. So that is another problem. Until all the platforms are modified for 4 cars they can't really do it. When it is all done
