they do have bigger one's, which are articulated...similar to Melbourne'sEAT MY SHORTS said:^ they very small, should get longer once, fit more ppl in etc .. lol @ the silly comment about poor ppl riding on these
Actually they do have there own ROW's in some places. About the plans for the system, they have to make a decision fairly soon about whether they want to overhal the existing system or buy new ones altogether.Vertigo said:Anyway, the tram system is still fairly traditional compared to modern tram / light rail systems: Toronto's trams are short high floor vehicles, don't have their own right of way, etcetera. Are there any plans to buy new vehicles or upgrade the system?
Well everyone (rich to poor) pretty much uses PT except people in the suburbs and owning a car doesn't mean people stop using PT (well in toronto) PT has many advantages over a car in toronto.Smartboy said:I'm sorry!!! But in my country only use public transit who don't have money to buy a car (here the cars are very expensive and most peolpe don't earn much money ). And i've heard in Canada verybody have e can bye a car.
