Presidents' Conference Committee (PCC) Streetcar History
The Toronto Transportation Commission, now known as the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) introduced the Presidents' Conference Committee (PCC) streetcar to Toronto transit patrons in 1938. This type of vehicle would go on to serve as the backbone of the transit system until 1954, when the Yonge subway line opened. A total of 745 PCC streetcars–the largest such fleet in the world–served the residents of Toronto from the PCC streetcar's inception until December 8, 1995, when PCC streetcar service ended.
Two vintage PCC's, # 4500 and # 4549, have been retained for special charter and sightseeing service.
Over the 57 years the PCC streetcar served transit users, Toronto has changed from a nondescript small city to the cosmopolitan and world-class community it has become today.
So the questionis:
My partner and I are planning a celebration and though we would like to charter a PCC. #4500 or 4549? Which one would you choose?
