Canadian Light Rail Vehicle : ウィキペディア英語版 | Canadian Light Rail Vehicle
The Canadian Light Rail Vehicle (CLRV) and Articulated Light Rail Vehicle (ALRV) are two types of streetcars that are used by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) in Toronto, Canada. The CLRVs are used on all 11 streetcar lines of the Toronto streetcar system while the ALRVs operate primarily on route 501 Queen and sometimes on routes 504 King and 511 Bathurst. They are to be withdrawn by 2018 and replaced by accessible Flexity Outlook vehicles. ==Background==
Towards the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, TTC's fleet of PCC streetcars had approached (or exceeded in some cases) the end of its useful life. Many Toronto citizens, and a group known as "Streetcars for Toronto" had fought successfully against the TTC's plans to convert its remaining streetcar lines to buses, and thus necessitated a new streetcar to replace the aging PCCs. The "Canadian Light Rail Vehicle" was an attempt at a new, standardized streetcar design to be used in Toronto and in other new streetcar developments throughout the country. There was also a similar attempt of the concept made in the United States around the same time, with cars built by Boeing Vertol for Boston's Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and the San Francisco Municipal Railway.
