Toronto Transit Commission (1893 words)
The TTC realized that improvements had to be made despite the depression and in 1936 purchased the first of the newly developed "streamliner" or PCC streetcars.
The Scarborough RT is also considered a 'subway-style' service and is included on subway maps and in that level of administration, though it is primarily aboveground, has less capacity and uses highly differing technology.
Because the TTC has maintained a large portion of its pre-World War II streetcar system, the streetcar routes operate in prewar style, with almost all of the route mileage in traffic rather than on reserved track.
