Asterix, if streetcars were the cheapest alternative with the greatest cost benefit per trip, why did the TTC retract the network and go with buses?
My understanding is based on a diesel locomotive,
The DC motor (on a diesel locomotive) is famous for ground problems when operating in excessive snow, blowing snow, or water. On the newer AC drive units, ground faults caused by these environmental concerns are eliminated
By all means, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't change what I've said.
Good for you...when we get our diesel streetcars, you can be the expert.
I don't think so...you've made it very clear that you don't have much of a clue.
The routes that were retracted were generally the lesser used ones. None of the big east-west downtown routes were removed other than Bloor-Danforth, or Harbord that is close to Bloor.Asterix, if streetcars were the cheapest alternative with the greatest cost benefit per trip, why did the TTC retract the network and go with buses?

Why don't you explain what you think a ground fault is, and how it applies to a ground referenced electric streetcar and the floating ground on a diesel train?
With below subway demand, streetcars represent a more efficient means of moving people than buses.
A "problem" solved over a century ago, with something we call an insulator...google it for more information.
As i said, sounds like you overheard something that you clearly didn't understand.
Your ability to ignore the tough parts of the questions are noted...are you in politics?
