Overview

The TTC has a nework of 11 streetcar routes and 248* streetcars that serve the heaviest suface routes in Toronto. There are 196 CLRVs (Canadian Light Rail Vehicles) - numbered 4000-4005 and 4010-4199 and 52 ALRVs* (Articulated Light Rail Vehicles) - numbered 4200-4251.

The CLRVs went into service between 1978 and 1980, but you would never know it to ride them. Most of them have been repainted within the last few years and are looking great. The ALRVs went into service between 1987-1989 - but they look older than the CLRVs. Some are now being repainted - but most are looking tired and they are not as smooth to ride as the CLRVs. The last PCCs were taken out of revenue service in December 1995 - but 4500 and 4549 are still available for charters.
