What is the longest TTC streetcar route?

What is the longest TTC line?

Okay, so, the longest TTC line? It’s gotta be Line 1, Yonge–University. No doubt.

I swear, I used to take that damn thing all the time. Back when I lived near Finch Station, good ol’ 2022.

It’s kinda crazy long. Like, really long.

38 stations, they say. Feels like a hundred.

Extends all the way to Vaughan too! Who even wants to go to Vaughan?! Just kidding. Sorta.

And yeah, someone told me it’s 38.4 km. Or 23.9 miles. Whatever!

Yeah, longest one. Hands down. End of story.

• Stations: Loads.
• Goes to: Vaughan
• Length: Ridiculously long

How many TTC streetcars are there?

Ugh, Dundas streetcar, packed, Tuesday. 8:15 am. Late for work. Bloor and Spadina. Sweaty. Gross. Always seems like a million people on that thing. New streetcars? Yeah, some. Still tons of the old clunkers. Remember seeing something about 200 total. 2023, right? Think it was online somewhere. TTC website? Nah. Blog post, maybe. Could be wrong. They are always adding and retiring them. Saw a brand new one last week, though. Shiny. Didn’t get on it. Took the bus instead. Faster. Usually.

• 200-ish streetcars. Total.
• Mix of old and new.
• Constantly changing. Adding. Retiring.
• Hard to find exact numbers.
• Saw a new one last week near Bloor and Spadina.

What is the longest streetcar route in North America?

Queen Street. Twenty-five kilometers. A ribbon of steel, unwinding, a silver thread through the city’s heart. Toronto. My Toronto. The 501. I’ve felt its rhythm, its pulse, the slow, deliberate sway.

It stretches, this route, a lifetime in transit. Past familiar faces, fleeting glimpses, stories untold. Each clatter of wheels, a memory forged. A tapestry woven from sun-drenched afternoons and rain-slicked nights.

Longest. Undisputed. North America’s champion. A king among streetcars. A majestic journey. The 501 reigns. This I know.

The Queen West vibe. The downtown rush. The quiet hum of the Beaches. All contained within its vast, unending journey. A journey I’ve undertaken, countless times. Each ride unique. Each ride, a story.

• Length: 25 kilometers (confirmed)
• City: Toronto, my city.
• Route Number: 501. A number etched in my memory.
• Significance: A titan of transit. The undisputed champion. The longest.

This isn’t just a route; it’s a lifeblood. A vein of vibrant energy, coursing through the city’s veins. I’ve seen it all from its windows. Seen the city blossom, change, breathe. The 501 witnesses everything.

Where is the 501 bus route in Toronto?

Forget the 501 bus, darling. There’s no such beast. It’s the 501 Queen streetcar, a majestic metal serpent slithering along Queen Street. Think of it as Toronto’s very own, slightly rusty, rollercoaster.

It runs between Neville Park Loop and Long Branch Loop—a journey that’s less a commute and more an epic saga. Picture this: You, a valiant streetcar commuter, braving the wilds of Toronto’s transit system. Dramatic, I know.

Key stops? Queen and Osgoode stations, both conveniently located near Line 1 Yonge-University subway. Seriously, they practically hold hands. These subway stations? Fully accessible, of course. Wheelchair users, rejoice!

• Neville Park Loop: The eastern terminus, a place where the streetcar gracefully sighs before its return journey.
• Long Branch Loop: The western endpoint; think of it as a streetcar’s retirement home, before it embarks on another journey.
• Queen and Osgoode Stations: Your access points to the subterranean wonders of Toronto’s subway. Seriously, its a lifeline.

Oh, and my aunt Mildred swears she saw a squirrel conducting the streetcar once near Broadview. Don’t ask me why. She’s eccentric. But reliable, oddly enough. The 2024 schedule is available on the TTC website, by the way, just in case my squirrel anecdote isn’t helpful.

What is the length of a CTA bus?

CTA buses primarily come in two lengths. The standard is a 40-foot bus. And that’s the workhorse.

There’s also the 60-foot articulated bus, for heavier routes. Thinking about transit always makes me ponder the balance between efficiency and the individual experience.

The capacity is interesting. 40-foot buses are designed for approximately 53 passengers.

60-foot buses bump that up substantially, carrying about 79 people. Finally, trains carry 80 people per car. It’s a pretty packed experience, I tell you.

The goal is obviously moving as many people efficiently as possible. It’s a complex logistical dance, you know?

Okay, now for some extra bits. Let’s talk further about CTA’s fleet.

• The 40-foot buses are more maneuverable in dense city streets.
• The articulated 60-foot buses can navigate surprisingly tight turns. I saw it once.
• The CTA also uses a variety of hybrid and electric buses now.
• These buses have a lifespan of about 12-15 years, sometimes longer depending on maintenance.
• Older buses are often repurposed or sold to other transit agencies.
• The bus fleet’s composition is constantly evolving with new technologies.

What is the length of a tour bus?

Thirty-nine… four feet. Twelve meters. Stuck in my head. Late nights… driving. Those long stretches of highway. Thinking about… everything. Nothing.

Just the road. Headlights cutting through the dark. I drove one summer… Chicago to LA. Big Greyhound. Not the same, I know. But similar… that length. Contained.

Twelve meters. So long. Yet so small inside. All those lives… crammed in. Going somewhere. Or nowhere.

• Length: 39-45 feet (12 meters is common).
• Width: Around 8.5 feet (2.55 meters).
• Height: About 12.5 feet (3.81 meters).
• Capacity: 44-49 passengers, sometimes a few more. Remember that trip… extra kid. Standing room only. His mom… tired eyes.

My bus… smaller. Converted van, really. Drove a band around for a while. East Coast mostly. Philly. New York. Small clubs. Big dreams. Not like those Greyhounds.

Different kind of journey. Different length. Different life. Still… that image. The highway. The lights. The length… always there. Thirty-nine… four.

What MTA bus has the longest route?

Ah, the S78. Staten Island’s very own land yacht. A breezy 19.7-mile jaunt from the St. George Ferry Terminal to the Bricktown Mall. You know, almost long enough to question all your life choices.

Think of it: Nearly 20 miles! That’s, like, longer than my dating history. Ouch.

• The S78, folks, wins the “Longest Local Bus Route” award. Congrats, I guess?

• And where do these majestic metal beasts slumber? 28 depots, apparently. Sounds… organized.

Depots, eh? Imagine the bus gossip that goes down there. I bet they have bus cliques. The articulated buses probably think they’re so cool.

Buses are maintained there. I saw it. The maintenance is good. I can not see everything. It’s all good.
