[QUOTE="Vettenut, post: 338719, member: 7655"] And this brings us to our next point The PCC = Presidents Conference Committee If memory serves I think the TTC bought them used from another transit agency ... not sure which ... these were in service even beyond the TTC's acceptance of 200 CLRVs in the mid late 70s ... then came the ALRV in 1985 or there abouts ( which was an extended articulating version of the CLRV ) And these vehicles stayed in service until the last CLRV and ALRV were retired at the end of 2019 And full time service was ( and still is ) handled by the new 7.5 million dollar per unit ... 5 section articulating Low Floor LRT ... the first one originally aquired by the TTC in 2014.... By the way ... if you were to walk into the New Leslie Barnes Maintenance facility at Leslie and Commissioners st ...you will be greeted by a Low Floor LRT model that measures about 5 feet long encased in glass that TTC paid 45 grand for yup no joke.
