Great video! Just wish there was some more interior subway footage apart from just the M1 scenes. Hopefully we can get some retro H1 and H2/3 interior videos soon…👌 Thanks for post bud! 👍😃

I'm not Canadian but watching these videos and the history is fascinating. Brings back memories. Thank you.

Great Bill MacDonald video RIP. Awesome footage from my childhood

Although I wasn’t a fan of the narration, which often doesn’t coincide with what we are looking at, the scenes shot are quite amazing and such smooth camera work. Bill did a great job!

I agree totally. The narration was overbearing and contained a few errors. I will say that the video was made in the pre-internet age. Bill listed all the fleet information for the trolleybuses, streetcars and subways which may have been appreciated at the time. Now that information can be googled in seconds by anyone interested.

What a great video, I remember the PCCs on the Carlton line. Such great memories, and a wonderful history of a city that was.

Buddy in the back of the streetcar at 14:49 is flipping off the camera

Great video but the amount of ads made it unwatchable

Unfortunately that’s a KZbin thing.
