THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graeme RoyThe Toronto Transit Commission is gearing up for another streetcar upgrade project, but it assures commuters that the bulk of the work will be out of the woods right in time for Taylor Swift's concerts this fall.
"As part of the plan, harbourfront streetcars will be restored for Taylor Swift concert dates in November, with increased service on multiple routes to accommodate an influx of visitors to Toronto," the TTC said in a release Friday. The mega-popstar is set to perform six concerts at the Rogers Centre, from Nov. 14 to 23.
This streetcar project will be broken up into stages, with the first phase starting Sept. 3 between the Harbourfront Tunnel and Spadina Avenue. Buses will replace the streetcars from Union Station and Exhibition Place. Montreal's transit authority said it has no immediate plans to implement platform screen doors on the metro despite repeated pleas from Quebec coroners who say the safety barriers can prevent suicides and assurances from the province that the costs to install them would be covered.
