The
Toronto streetcar system comprises ten
streetcar routes in
Toronto,
Ontario,
Canada, operated by the
Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It is the largest such system in the Americas in terms of ridership, number of cars, and track length. The network is concentrated primarily in
downtown and in proximity to the city's
waterfront. Much of the streetcar route network dates to the 19th century. Most of Toronto's streetcar routes operate on street trackage shared with car traffic, and streetcars stop on demand at frequent stops like buses. Some routes operate wholly or partly within their own
rights-of-way, and stop on demand at frequent stops.
