Meet "TTC", the CTA of Toronto, ON, Canada. I couldn't resist taking it from the window of another TTC vehicle on a rainy day, like today. The droplets against the bright red and white background looked super cute :) Thank you for your visit :)

The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) has purchased 60 zero-emission e-buses (electric buses) from three bus builders: 25 Proterra Catalysts, 25 New Flyer Xcelsior Charges and 10 BYD K9Ms.
I came across a couple of Proterra Catalysts running the 505 Dundas West route today.
While the eBuses should be capable of 200 km or more on one charge, they will be deployed initially on routes that are 75 km or less. With time and confidence, they will be deployed on longer and longer routes.

Travelsure TTC 86 Departing Berwick Upon Tweed Railway Station on a LNER Rail Replacement To Newcastle
On my first visit to Toronto (which was also my first time in a major North American city), I was impressed by the operations of the Toronto Transportation Commission (TTC), whose operations embraced a subway network, streetcars and buses, mostly in a dignified and smart crimson lake and cream livery. The bus routes included six operated by trolleybuses. TTC’s own trolleybus purchases were bolstered by second-hand acquisitions from Cincinnati, Cleveland and Ottawa. Alas, time ran out for TTC’s trolleybuses in 1993: the equipment was life-expired and TTC was hit by a budget crisis. Having played a more marginal role compared with the other Toronto transit modes, wholesale re-equipment was deemed uneconomic.
With Toronto’s demise, trolleybuses continued in two other Canadian cities, but after Edmonton closed its network in 2009, just Vancouver retains trolleybuses today.
I was paying more attention to the TTC streetcars at the time, but fortunately I did secure one trolleybus photo for the record. It is only now that I learnt the interesting story of the vehicle I had photographed. I had long assumed that it was a derivative of a GM-style city bus. In fact, in common with its sister trolleybuses, TTC #9248 is a Western Flyer rebuild of a much older vehicle, part of a programme undertaken between 1969 and 1972 to extend the fleet’s life. The programme can be considered a success, as a full 20 years life was squeezed out of these rebuilds.
