{{Main|Toronto streetcar system}}
Toronto's streetcar system is one of the few in North America still operating along street-running tracks. It has been operating since the mid-19th century. [[Horsecar]] service started in 1861, and 600 V DC overhead electric service began in 1892. New TTC routes since the 1940s have generally been operated by other modes of transportation, and the less busy streetcar routes have also been converted. Streetcar routes are now focused on the downtown area, although two run farther from the core: one being on [[St. Clair Avenue]], {{convert|6|km}} from [[Lake Ontario]] on average, served by the 512 St. Clair streetcar route, and another on [[Lake Shore Boulevard]] (the western portion of 501 Queen), which runs through the [[Etobicoke]] district nearly to the city limits with [[Mississauga]] at [[Etobicoke Creek]] in [[Long Branch Loop|Long Branch]].

Up until 1995, the TTC operated a fleet of 765 [[Presidents' Conference Committee (Toronto streetcar)|PCC-type streetcars]], 540 of which it purchased new. The rest were purchased as other cities sold their PCC streetcar fleets.

From 1987 until September 2019, the TTC operated two-car [[Articulated Light Rail Vehicle]]<!--Don't bypass redirect per [[WP:NOTBROKEN]]--> (ALRV) streetcars, a longer version of the [[Canadian Light Rail Vehicle]] (CLRV) streetcars.

Following the retirement of the TTC's CLRV streetcars on December 29, 2019, the entire TTC streetcar fleet consists of the low-floor [[Flexity Outlook (Toronto)|Flexity Outlook]] vehicles from [[Bombardier Transportation]], the first of which entered service on the [[510 Spadina]] route on August 31, 2014.<ref name="ttc.ca">{{cite web |url=http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Projects_and_initiatives/New_Streetcars/index.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025130746/http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Projects_and_initiatives/New_Streetcars/index.jsp |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |title=New Streetcars: Meet your new ride |publisher=Toronto Transit Commission |date=September 2012 |access-date=December 27, 2014}}</ref>
