TTC begins operations at new streetcar facility, modifies stops
he Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC) new low-floor streetcars this week began operating out of its new streetcar facility known as Leslie Barns.
The facility is still under construction, however, and won't be fully occupied by TTC until early next year.
The nearly 280,000-square-foot facility has 30 streetcar service bays and will provide maintenance for TTC's entire fleet of 204 streetcars, agency officials said in a press release.
