I thought I would start a new thread discussing possible modern tram railcars for a future tram system in Victoria.

Here is the first post.

When you click on this link and are in the main menu page. Click on the virtual tour which is the first picture on the right. Its promoting the new trams for Toronto, but it is interesting and worth a discussion.

To just give an idea of how well Toronto's streetcar network is used. The system carries approx. 270,000 riders per day on 190km of track.
