Here’s some interesting news that we caught off the Queens Quay Life blog:
TTC has a “Ride Now, Pay Later” program for the Eastbound 509 and 510 Harbourfront streetcars on Queens Quay at select stops during the summer weekends.
On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from Sunday, May 10 until Labour Day, Monday, September 7, TTC operators are not collecting fares at Harbourfront.
If you’re waiting for an eastbound streetcar on Queen’s Quay West at Bathurst Street, Dan Leckie Way, Lower Spadina Avenue, Rees Street, Lower Simcoe Street or York Street — or at the northbound platform at Queen’s Quay Station — you may board streetcars by either the front or centre door. You don’t have to pay a cash or token fare and the operators won’t give you a paper transfer.
Instead, you’ll pay when you leave the underground streetcar loop at Union Station.
Seen on the Transit Toronto blog:
If you’re a fan of TTC paraphernalia, you’ll want to catch the Harbourfront streetcar on Sundays. The TTC has resurrected vintage PCC streetcars to operate on the 509 route until September 6th. Historically, these streetcars ran on Toronto streets from 1938 to 1996.
