Well done!

OMG! This reminds me of when I was little...and there was actually a Spadina bus on Spadina Avenue!
Remeber when you could only drive forward into the parking spaces which were all at an angle to the sidewalk...and to get out, you could only reverse?!
Remember when Kennedy was the very end of the line with no more trains to take? (Not today with the LRT.)
And remember when the whole city shut down on a holiday? It was super quiet on those mornings with no traffic at all in the streets.

Remember the trolley buses. Could hear them coming blocks away by listening to the overhead wires vibrate.Miss them sometimes.

@ 3:10 dickheads throwing stuff probably wasn't common back then.
hate how they added those windows behind the driver in the fishbowls years back but hey they needed it.

Get me a Delorian... I'm going back.

@johncornish Plenty of Classics left here, in Montreal. My division alone has like 30 or 40 of them, still... Being gradually replaced since 1996 by Novabus LFS, which I'm not too crazy of, especially the LFS Artic (a Slinky with engine & drivetrain in the trailer... Very tricky in slippery conditions)... And from what I've been hearing about them (quiet and quick), I would like to see some Orions, here...

@johncornish We (Kingston Transit) are down to three classic, one is being used for training, the other two still in regular service. Ten New Flyers are on order.
-
Most of the classics are gone now... The most common TTC bus is the Orion VII.
-
TTC is still subsidized...

When I was about 5 or 6 I spent a week with my cousin in Toronto, I remember one day my aunt taking us downtown to Honest Ed's we went on a trolley bus, a streetcar, the subway and then back to there place in a taxi. It was quite the day for a farm kid. Thanks for the great videos.

there were alot of stupid decisions made by stupid politicians in toronto. if toronto listened to the transit riders and not the rich yuppies maybe toronto would have right of way lines out east and west of the downtown core like out to the zoo maybe. the scarborough RT should have been light rail or streetcars (stupid politicians

The trolley buses were interesting; they had them running in my neighbourhood as a kid. They sure were a pain in the ass in the winter though...the bus cables would become dislodged if there was too much ice surrounding the overhead wires.
Apparently a lot of the old PCC streetcars were exported out to Egypt for use on their transit system. There's an archive photo somewhere of them sitting in a train yard outside Cairo.
