Doesn't Toronto boast an excellent subway system? I've been to Toronto
probably five times, took the train from Windsor after crossing the
border, and I've never been in an automobile in Toronto proper. I don't
recall the streetcars, though; it's been several years. Are they similar
to those I remember in San Fran?
The streetcars in Toronto are nothing like San Francisco's cable cars.
The following page has some pretty good information and photos on
Toronto's streetcar system:

I believe during the last COMMON in Toronto, some railfans chartered an
old streetcar for a tour of the city. I believe there are still one or
two PCC's available for charters.
And, Hans neglected to mention other entertainment options: the 5 pin
alternative to the more normally recognized (to us Yanks) 10 pin bowling
-- Leave your balls at home! <g>

You raise a good point! If anyone planning on attending the Toronto
COMMON wants to try a few games of 5-pin bowling, send me a private
e-mail (boldt(at)ca(dot)ibm(dot)com). If there's any interest, I can
look into reserving a lane or two at a bowling alley close to the
subway. There's one particular bowling alley just east of Greektown
along the Danforth subway I've wanted to try. It's a small alley, and
apparently, it hasn't changed much in the past 50 years! (Except, I'm
sure, for the beer prices!)
Cheers! Hans
