TTC unveils new streetcars

[@latincupidd]

wifi would be amazing

[@funvideofan1625]

latincupidd Ikr

[@HesJustSteven]

I think the TTC should do what the MTA of New York City does for our Select Bus Services , pay before you board through fare machines with Presto or with coins or whatever, and keep the receipt as proof of payment, trust me, people will abide when you threaten random fare inspections and actually inspect for fare skippers

[@BurnedNoodle]

Steven Francis Sometimes, you can pay before you board I believe

[@JohnC-pt1iw]

Still they don’t make it rich.

[@streetcarjay]

Correction: CLRV's were introduced in the late 1970's. 1979 to be exact.

[@AMGallegos]

On August 31 2014 The New Streetcar Come On the 510 Spadina

[@Kaden303]

The old streetcars, the ones from 1920 are going to DALLAS texas

[@Kane615]

They did, they ordered a bunch of custom length Novabus Artics.

[@Zohirul-Jewel]

I think the ttc should also get articulated buses

[@Ghdhdhdh..]

They have them now.

[@SCOEN]

2014?! heck send that one out now it will make a big difference! especially with all the construction at union station now!

[@LakeshoreWestBlvd]

they are getting them this year

[@MichaelHBallard]

Interesting NO more tokens for payments?

[@funvideofan1625]

0:51 Yeah Will That Turn To A Big Mistake

[@cal920c]

I wanna see some impact testing on vehicles... I remember the CLRV's crushing the back of a Beck cab... I think it was the Cabs fault though. Ps. IT DOESN'T COME WITH THE 42" PLASMA TV THE CNE MODEL DID!

[@FelixAn]

I can't wait to see them! :-)

[@Ethan-ik1nm]

Street car? In England, we like to call them trams, also, the driver didn't have their own cab? That surprises me

[@evanstonbalce9588]

In both the U.S. and Canada, they are also called trolleys or trolley cars

[@michaelchristopher8266]

In North America if it runs mixed in traffic it is called a street car, if it runs in its own right of way it is called light rail transit.

[@vincentgiugni8407]

wow it i like the idea but i wasnt sure about the paying part it sounded confusing

[@micklewin2263]

did you figure it out 😂

[@cal920c]

They are built by the world leader in Transportation Technoloies, None other then Bombardier inc.

[@evanstonbalce9588]

Bay Area Rapid Transit or BART in San Francisco recently received new train cars from that company

[@cal920c]

@@evanstonbalce9588 we also got the Toronto Rocket cars.

[@DarkFright]

They look like the ones in Amsterdam

[@georgetbay]

KILLERZ551 it's a European design, that's why

[@AMGallegos]

On 2015 The New Streetcar Will Come On The 511 Bathurst And The 509 Harboufrout And 2015-2016 The New Streetcars Will Be On The 505 Dundas And 2016-2017 New Streetcar Come On 501 Queen 508 LakeShore And 504 King Then On 2018-2019 512 St.Clair 502 Downtowner 503 Kingston Road And 506 Cariton

[@RR-xu5xk]

More fare inspectors please. Too many people not paying, too many homeless people riding it and sleeping. Those 4 seater areas facing each other is a huge disaster with no leg room. This might be good for families but they are usually taken before a family gets on and strangers dont like facing each other. I would remove this for the next round of streetcars.

[@derick3482]

haha why don't you film them / they're doing what VIVA bus was doing in the 2000s

[@Supesfan88]

I don't get the whole proof of payment thing? Why don't they just leave the fare stations on the streetcars? Not everyone will have a Presto card by 2014.

[@zordacian1959]

i think the ttc-they should reduced the price for people who live below the poverty line

[@SRN42069]

How do you become a streetcar operator ^.^

[@danmcclaren5436]

so how are they going to enforce the pay that don't pay?

[@lisaray101]

TTC is taking forever 510 line only has 3 on line right now they were suppose to have over 40 by now. TTC cant be snail pace forever and let riders suffer by the poor service of the old ones. By July, The Pam Games will come and TTC will be FORCED to roll them out QUICKER! Hopefully by July 2015: 510, 509, 511 streetcar lines will be fully equipped with all new streetcars good riddance to the old streetcars.

[@HighBoOsT100]

*ROFL* That "barn yard" at Leslie is slow as hell to "complete" too.

[@GolfFanaticEstR]

It is Bombardier taking forever to deliver them.

[@ROBLOXLover24]

Oh yah!

[@franki3Ru550]

When is this coming out?

[@blankspace_]

franki3Ru550 it’s out already l

[@flacko001]

What ever happened to replacing all the subway trains with the new ones?

[@ryanbalkissoon]

The Presto system seems over engineered. What you said makes sense.

[@Ghdhdhdh..]

I got on the streetcar many times after they rolled it out.

[@VAPOURIZE100]

the is great! but ugh can they plz change the buses as well they are sooo dirty! and old :S

[@Khaipu]

how about free wifi ? :)

[@AMGallegos]

WOW

[@Kane615]

Why couldn't they just build the damn Presto system into the doors. POP doesn't work, you'd need an army of workers going around.

[@PilotLieutenant1]

ITs here

[@edwardbliss8931]

Fare inspectors on every route is a bit of a stretch. I hardly ever see them. People can hop on for a couple of blocks if they wanted to

[@cookieyy]

They have to do saftey tests and train drivers. That can't happen over night.

[@Yobroskie1990]

Okay so a more advanced streetcar now requires a larger crew? Wheres the logic in that?

[@danfo3422]

1920 is like the war

[@Findabo]

Always beefing happening

[@papercraftlover003]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the old streetcars slightly better then the new ones! PLEASE DONT REPLACE ALL OF THEM TTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT LEAST PRESERVE THEM!!

[@Bombadie]

There preserving 1 or 2 CLRV

[@davernwhite7431]

your rewing history

[@josephfollows3523]

'they were pretty dirty before so its a nice change'... folks... dirty streetcars have absolutely nothing to do with the fact they are old. they are dirty because the employees in the yards (this goes for all buses an all YRT buses and beyond)... its a RACE TO FINISH WASHING BUSES AND GO HOME. sometimes they power wash the insides. old or new, they half ass clean the vehicles.

[@HesJustSteven]

Thank you! I hate when people say that especially because it's the passenger who makes them dirty

[@JohnC-pt1iw]

They move just like public with hate.

[@hilickit]

i hate these neon white lights...the new trains have them too , eh

[@CRIV2012]

Ahh they will take PRESTO Cards!

[@washingtonredskin6574]

I like the Bombardier trains, but I wonder what the Siemens trains would have been like and if they would be on time. Probably. Germans are good at building amazing shit on time. Who cares anyway. These things don't belong on 2 lane roads where unfortunately their routes are located. Why are these streetcar things even being built? They're a total pain in the ass and a relic of the 1920's, when unfortunately, toronto didn't have the balls to dig subways by hand using shovel carrying Irishmen. Streetcars are a sad, lazy, pathetic improvised subway. They are more like a tourist trap, or carnival ride compared to a means of sustainable transportation which is a subway. This is the 2010's and we need Subways, subways, subways, and we have the ability to build. Build a diagonal subway along the power transmission corridor between Flemingdon Park and Malvern. This would service 100's of thousands, and require the least effort and traffic interruptions. Also, modern boring equipment can replace these annoying antiques along queen, kingston, gerrard. Put them underground where they belong, and give the roads back to drivers now, you useless, god damn carriage riding fuckin' pricks!

[@alexi-divasskinner960]

oh wow.

[@cnman234]

Nice! Built by a Canadian company none other than....... BOMBARDIER! :D

[@Xcoming2]

yet your torontonians are going to be careless them up...

[@fevent558]

PRESTO!

[@jethrotaylor2614]

A ramp! How about low level cars and platforms at stops so its a level entrance like most other tram systems in modern countries

[@buzzcutapp]

We don't have platforms at most of our stops lol... Most modern countries have the same low-floor fleet, they just have platforms too.

[@asia911]

So I wonder how much are those lazy fare inspectors who check people's tickets are getting paid? Must be a very hard and educated job. So you have a drive and a fare inspectors. LOL.

[@MineTranzProductions]

It's really hard to operate a streetcar.

[@petervenier505]

new streetcars are a disaster . so is the ttc, take the car its the better way.

[@ikarosmelan8917]

i like the old streetcars >.> they were cozy to me. on my ride to the CNE i can stick my elbow semi out the window and feel the breeze in my face . these ones are all like..meh
