The Flexity Outlook is the latest model in the of the Toronto streetcar system owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). Based on the Flexity Outlook vehicles used in several European cities, the new streetcars were first ordered in 2009 and are built by Bombardier Transportation in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada with specific modifications for Toronto, such as unidirectional operation and the ability to operate on the Toronto gauge.
The first new streetcars were deployed for revenue service on route 510 Spadina in 2014, while later deliveries were introduced on routes 509 Harbourfront and 514 Cherry. They are stored at Leslie Barns, a maintenance and storage facility of the TTC completed in 2015. They will replace the existing fleet of streetcars, the iconicCanadian Light Rail Vehicle (CLRV) and Articulated Light Rail Vehicle (ALRV) streetcars which have been used since the 1970s and 1980s, respectively as more of the new streetcars arrive and enter service.
The Flexity Outlook is the first modern low-floor and wheelchair accessible streetcar used in the city. With a length of over 30 metres (98 ft), they are also the largest streetcars in the system. They have four sliding doors, air conditioning systems, seating of up to 70 passengers, and interior bicycle racks. The new streetcars include two on-board Fares and Transfers Vending Machines (FTVM)s along with ticket validators, Presto card readers and introduced the use of proof-of-payment (POP) system.
