Hamilton
light rail - proposed
Surprise! There are no
streetcars in this extended Toronto burb city. The deceptively named
Hamilton Street Railway operates the city's buses. Contrary to what the
name suggests, streetcar operations ceased in Hamilton in 1951, while
trolleybus operations continued through 1992. When the city took over from
the private companies, it decided to keep the old
name, eh?
But wait, eh, there's more! In February 2010, Hamilton received 3 million dollars from the province for a light rail study. There are many indications that a 16 km light rail starter line wlil be built. Politicians are still
arguing out the details.
