73 Interesting Vintage Photos Showing Transportation in Toronto During the 1980s 

Thanks. Lived in Toronto all my life. I ve been using the TTC since 1976.

the good old days of my twenties and thirties...thanks for the memories..

A streetcar is desired

Street cars, buses and more buses........haha loved the old ways and days. Thanks YTT.

a few of the pics were of busses in the city of Hamilton, about 50 miles away from hogtown

Those black, white and red street cars were state-of-the-art transportation in the 80s. Toronto in those days held endless possibilities for Canadians coming from small towns. I almost forgot about all the overhead cables for the buses and streetcars. Oddly the streetcars were deemed as 'heavy-rail' something the radical leftist successive Toronto gov'ts moved away from by the 2010s.

A trip down memory lane! Can anyone identify the view at 4:38? Bay Street?

Stop 🛑 🛑

👍👍

Funny thing, while most city streetcar systems went the way of the dinosaurs, Toronto still has them, albeit on a smaller scale than in the past. But beyond the nostalgia and cool historic vibe, I can't imagine that they are very cost-effective.
