Our Present Day Streetcars

 

This is one of our present day streetcars, called Flexity Outlook, which first appeared in service in 2014 and now make up the whole fleet. I guess they are called Flexity because they have 5 articulated sections. I remember how excited everyone was when they first started running here.

  1. Very modern one but if I am honest I prefer the older ones in town.

  2. "Hi Panto!" Very cool car.
    Side Note: two years ago I was at the InnoTrans in Berlin and saw a used Panto(graph) for real. Before I translated a technical drawing of a Panto and I see them every day for real :-) Nice to see a Canadian "Brother" (in German pantos are male)

  5. Except for the color, these look very much like the ones we have here. Which reminds me, I haven't ridden on one in along time. I used to ride a lot more when I live closer to the lines.

  6. Very smart. We have Flexity trams here too. We rode in one of yours and also on the older style that were still operating. I thought it strange that the new trams had poles rather than pantographs, but I think they have been converted now after the electric overhead wiring was adapted.
