As I Walk Toronto

by bus, by subway, by streetcar


 an older streetcar is traveling south and a new streetcar is coming north as they pass each other on Spadina at the intersection with Dundas.

A new streetcar passes an older one on Spadina. The TTC is in the midst of phasing out the older streetcars that were built between 1977 and 1989. Two hundred and four newer, longer streetcars have been ordered from Bombardier. Sixty seven of those new streetcars were expected by mid January 2016 but only 14 were operational at that time. These new cars service the 510 Spadina and 509 Harbourfront routes although eventually the new cars will be on all the streetcar routes in Toronto.
