Scrap the streetcar
Once more, it’s clear from this article that it’s time for the TTC to abandon the streetcar. I would love to see the cost savings of ridding the TTC of track, wire, and streetcar maintenance. Not to mention all the massive service delays caused by the old trains. They make no sense, are inflexible, and are clearly costing a fortune now and in the future.
How they are such an untouchable is testament to the amazing screaming engineer male wannabee activists that shout down every attempt to scrap the dinosaurs. The Toronto Sun should get behind this fiasco, and give up on its stupid push to scrap the Gardiner.
The TTC has failed to attract a single qualified bidder for a historic $1.25-billion contract to replace its aging streetcar fleet.
