One sure-fire sign of a for a long time established city in North America is the existence of a public transit system that has evolved through the ages in terms of vehicles, but has always followed the same routes and rules. In this context, Toronto is no exception; the visual history of the streetcars that have served the city is well established, with myriad old cars preserved and sold to high bidders or gratis to museums.

More every hour than not, the symbol of the streetcar is one that myriad cities prefer to grasp in order to corroborate their niche within history. The cars themselves were perhaps more truly carriages, built by the most prominent designers of the day. In this article, we would like to contribute a little bit to the scribbled history of Toronto‘s Street Cars by tracing their evolution to the existing day.

The Forerunner: Horse drawn cars

The public transport system had been established in Toronto well before the invention of the internal combustion engine; in fact, the city was the first in Canada to endorse and implement any kind of public transport system. Instead, a new franchise was awarded (after the city had operated the system for a few months) to the Toronto Railway Company. The city itself communicable the operating privileges of the line to the Toronto Street Railways on a thirty-year lease in 1861.

End of the filly drawn era

The Toronto Street Railways Company went through extensive changes in the 1870s, and when their 30-year franchise was up the city chose not to renew the contract. The TSR moved quickly on this part of the arrangement; they brought in the first electric streetcars almost immediately, in 1891. Part of the directive in the lease included an unison that the company would modernize the transport system. Although in the event of they were forced by the courts to include services to the other areas, they were typically run by streetcar models that were gone their prime. By 1895, pony drawn streetcars were history.

Battles and Endings

When Toronto expanded, the city the TRC to expand as well, but the company refused. When the shortsighted TRC had their lease run out in 1921, the city coalesced the Toronto Civic Railways with the anew created Toronto Transportation Commission, run by the city.

The TTC created 35 new routes mid 1921 and 1954, and also managed to upgrade the models of streetcar to the PPC car despite the World War and the Great Depression that preceded it. In the meantime the city developed their own companies to run the lines to the outlying areas. Today the TTC still operates Toronto‘s public transit system, though it is now known as the Toronto Transit Commission.
