- The Flexity Outlook is the latest model of streetcar in the rolling stock of the Toronto streetcar system owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). Based on the Bombardier Flexity, they were first ordered in 2009 and were built by Bombardier Transportation in Thunder Bay and Kingston, Ontario, with specific modifications for Toronto, such as unidirectional operation and the ability to operate on the unique broad Toronto gauge (1,495 mm / 4 ft 10+7⁄8 in). Excluding the TTC's heritage collection of a few older streetcars, the entire active streetcar fleet consists of the Flexity Outlook. They replaced the Canadian Light Rail Vehicle (CLRV) and its articulated counterpart, the Articulated Light Rail Vehicle (ALRV), which were all retired in December 2019. The Flexity Outlook is the first modern low-floor and wheelchair-accessible streetcar used in the city. With a length of over 30 metres (98 ft), they are the largest single-unit streetcars ever used by the TTC. They have four sliding doors, air conditioning systems, seating for up to 70 passengers, and interior bicycle racks. The vehicles are equipped with two on-board fare vending machines (FVM) along with concession ticket validators, Presto readers and introduced the use of proof-of-payment (POP) system. Line 5 Eglinton, a light rail line under construction, uses the similar Flexity Freedom light rail vehicle, which—like the Flexity Outlook—is also a low-floor wheelchair-accessible vehicle. The two models are not compatible for several reasons, including track gauge. (en)
