what is it?

The Flexity Outlook is the latest model of streetcar in the rolling stock of the Toronto streetcar system owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). Based on the Bombardier Flexity, they were first ordered in 2009 and were built by Bombardier Transportation in Thunder Bay and Kingston, Ontario, with specific modifications for Toronto, such as unidirectional operation and the ability to operate on the unique broad Toronto gauge (1,495 mm / 4 ft 10+7⁄8 in). Excluding the TTC's heritage collection of a few older streetcars, the entire active streetcar fleet consists of Flexity Outlook vehicles.
