Design your own route
You are free to design your own route for your charter. When the TTC approves your selected route, your charter streetcar will operate in conjunction with regular scheduled service. En-route stops and breaks will not be possible if they result in delays to regular service. The TTC driver will try to accommodate stop requests, but has the final authority in operating the charter service.
Streetcar Charters are subject to access to streetcar tracks and will be authorized by the TTC. If, in the interest of safety and passenger convenience, a change in the routing is necessary after the charter has been booked, the TTC reserves the right to implement such change.
The TTC Operator does not provide any commentary. If this service is required, the chartering party is responsible to make arrangements for a step-on guide at their own cost.
Charters do not run during rush hours: Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
