Yesterday I had the opportunity to board one of the new streetcars that are being rolled out in Toronto by the TTC (the public transit system). The sleek lines of the new vechile look bright, shiny and impressive.
The inside looks elegant and clean – and offers more space for travellers than the old streetcar. We grabbed a seat and enjoyed the smooth ride to our destination.
One hopes that the longer streetcars will help ease the pressure to get many Torontonians to their destination. Time will tell whether the expense was worth it.
Do you have the opportunity to travel by streetcar?

I love public transportation. Can’t remember the last time I drove a car, actually.

I am a huge fan of public transport too. I love that I can read while moving around – and it is good for the environment too. 🙂

I am not too sure when the system was built. The last few years they have renovated it – they have changed the tracks, the electricity lines, and are now bringing out the new cars.

Looks like a great move by your TTC Colline, more passengers, smoother ride and rather elegant looking seating arrangements, with the way Australia is going these days with Islamification, Toronto might be a nice place to move to.
Cheers.

It is a nice place – though there are Muslims here 🙂
