Toronto commuters along Queen Street are experiencing a smoother ride thanks to the rollout of a new fleet of low-floor TTC streetcars. The vehicles, part of the city’s modernization efforts, officially began service this week following months of testing and community engagement.

Designed for improved accessibility and higher passenger capacity, the new streetcars feature wide doors, spacious interiors, and digital route displays. They replace aging vehicles that have served Queen Street for decades, some dating back to the 1970s.

TTC spokesperson Jasmine Rudd stated that the upgrade was part of the agency’s broader initiative to enhance public transit across the city. “These streetcars are more efficient, more comfortable, and more reliable. They represent the future of urban mobility in Toronto,” she said.

The vehicles also include improved suspension for quieter rides and USB charging ports for passenger convenience. Real-time tracking and automated stop announcements are expected to reduce delays and improve accessibility for riders with disabilities.

Local feedback has been largely positive. “I use the Queen line every day, and the new cars are a big improvement,” said commuter Laura Chow. “They’re cleaner, less crowded, and easier to board with a stroller.”

TTC has confirmed that additional routes, including those on Dundas and King Streets, will receive similar upgrades in the coming months as part of a phased rollout plan.

City officials are hopeful that modernizing Toronto’s streetcar network will not only improve day-to-day transit but also encourage more residents to choose public transportation over driving, reducing congestion and emissions.
