Flexity Outlook (Toronto)

The Flexity Outlook is a model of low-floor, articulated streetcar manufactured by Bombardier Transportation (later Alstom) and operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. These streetcars represent a significant upgrade to Toronto's streetcar fleet, replacing the aging CLRV (Canadian Light Rail Vehicle) and ALRV (Articulated Light Rail Vehicle) models.

The Flexity Outlook streetcars are fully accessible, featuring low floors throughout the vehicle, providing step-free access for passengers using wheelchairs, strollers, or with mobility impairments. They are also longer than their predecessors, offering greater passenger capacity.

Key features of the Flexity Outlook streetcars include:

• Low-floor design: Facilitates easier boarding and alighting for all passengers.
• Air conditioning: Provides climate control for passenger comfort.
• Passenger information systems: Display real-time information about the route, stops, and potential delays.
• Wheelchair accessibility: Equipped with ramps and designated wheelchair spaces.
• Increased capacity: Offers significantly more space for passengers compared to older models.

The introduction of the Flexity Outlook streetcars has been a gradual process, beginning in 2014. The rollout has faced various challenges, including production delays and technical issues. However, the streetcars have become a prominent part of Toronto's transit network and contribute to improved accessibility and passenger experience.
