There are just too many vehicles sharing the streets with TTC streetcars. Streetcars can move lots of people, but not if they have to share streets with other vehicles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-63598385067499820252014-08-08T11:16:42.757-04:002014-08-08T11:16:42.757-04:00How long does it take to clear an accident when bi...How long does it take to clear an accident when bicyclists are thrown from their bicycles after encountering streetcar tracks and have to transported to the hospital?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-92211732533482749122014-08-08T11:11:30.300-04:002014-08-08T11:11:30.300-04:00Rob Ford has a good chance of winning another term...Rob Ford has a good chance of winning another term as Toronto's Mayor --- Toronto's streetcars are that bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-28969049570909735052014-08-07T10:12:30.859-04:002014-08-07T10:12:30.859-04:00Toronto suburbs have bus rapid transit service.Toronto suburbs have bus rapid transit service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-86064795786390148492014-08-07T10:00:14.500-04:002014-08-07T10:00:14.500-04:00Residents of Arlington's Sister City, Aachen G...Residents of Arlington's Sister City, Aachen Germany, voted 2-1 against a streetcar system in a referendum last year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-62016068414137988922014-08-07T09:55:04.891-04:002014-08-07T09:55:04.891-04:00First Generation Yups (who were 22 in 1982) are 54...First Generation Yups (who were 22 in 1982) are 54 years old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-5955785182059623562014-08-07T09:42:14.068-04:002014-08-07T09:42:14.068-04:00Can you believe?

The proponents said it would cost $250 million, ended up costing DC taxpayers more than $650 million.

She never takes the streetcar anywhere, because it's slower than driving, a bus or sometimes even walking. No one actually commutes via one, either. The CB lives in La-La land if they actually think a streetcar will be used for commuting!
