Municipal Service Car

Municipal Service Car

Municipal Service Car was a concept streetcar being considered by the Toronto Transit Commission in the 1970s to replace their ageing PCC fleet.

The project began in 1972 and was a co-operation between Hawker Siddeley Canada and the Toronto Transit Commission. The vehicle had a bus-like chassis and was somewhat of a low floor vehicle.

In the end the vehicle lost out to the Canadian Light Rail Vehicle or CLRV made by Ontario Transit Development Corporation (later renamed Urban Transportation Development Corporation) in 1973.

No vehicles were developed and only concept drawings exists of this vehicle.
