| 词条 | TTC Belt Line tour |
| 释义 |
In the mid 1970s the Toronto Transit Commission ran heritage streetcars on the remaining portions of the Toronto Railway Company Belt Line.[1][2][3] The picturesque heritage vehicles were meant to please tourists.[4] Riders paid a regular fare, and were issued transfers which would allow them to board other TTC vehicles. The service only ran during the summer. The TTC provided a guide to give passengers historical commentary.[5] References1. ^{{cite news | url = http://transit.toronto.on.ca/streetcar/4514.shtml| title = The last Peter Witt (#2766) (Last Modified on June 23, 2013 10:10 AM)| publisher = Transit Toronto| author = James Bow| date = 2013-06-23| accessdate = 2013-07-15| archivedate = | archiveurl = | deadurl = No | quote = }} 2. ^{{cite news | url = http://transit.toronto.on.ca/streetcar/4131.shtml| title = A History of the TTC's Belt Line Streetcars| publisher = Transit Toronto| author = Pete Coulman, James Bow| date = 2013-04-27| accessdate = 2013-07-15| archivedate = | archiveurl = | deadurl = No | quote = The proposal called for the historic cars to operate in a loop through downtown Toronto on their own route.
