The TTC's modern Flexity Outlook streetcars have become an iconic symbol of Toronto since their first introduction in 2014, but the transit agency still maintains a legacy fleet of heritage streetcars from years past — and there is new hope these vintage transit vehicles could soon return to city streets.
This document specifies that the retrofit would apply to one TTC vehicle with the option to retrofit up to five streetcars.
Not that long ago, you could ride the TTC’s vintage PCC streetcars on summer Sundays along the 509 Harbourfront.

Some were shipped off to the scrapyard, while others lived on as transit vehicles and even restaurant dining rooms.
