Toronto Transit
Scarborough RT
 |
| Toronto |
The RT as it is called, was originally to
be a high speed trolley or light rail line extending from the end of the
Bloor-Danforth subway to Scarborough. The Provincial government forced TTC
to build their ICTS system that uses linear induction motors. This is the
same system Vancouver SkyTrain and the Detroit People Mover use. It is a
short line, but has heavy ridership.
There are talks of rebuilding, or converting this
line to subway standards.
