Caption: TTC A8-class PCC 4514 makes its way eastbound through leafy mid-town Toronto on St. Clair Avenue, stopped for the light at Avenue Road in traffic. Part of the the "newest" group of PCC's in the fleet, the 50 4500-series A8's were based out of Wychwood Carhouse and regularly saw service on the St. Clair route.
Other notable things in this scene: the luxury of a mid-70's Chrysler Cordoba (no doubt from the posh Forest Hill area nearby) contrasting with the spartan econobox first generation Volkswagen Rabbit next to it. Also the tan and red bus on the right operated by All-Way Trans for the TTC, one of the earlier accessible "Wheel Trans" services operated in the city.
