This is kind of an odd comment though. The streetcars have a daily ridership of 300,000 (out of 2.75 million total on the TTC), and overcrowding is a big problem. Ridership growth has been stagnant moreso because the TTC has become a victim of its own success, with most routes already operating at or above capacity (and with the huge influx of residents downtown, most are opting to walk or bike instead). That, and fare evasion has skyrocketed ever since they (poorly) implemented the proof-of-payment system on surface routes.
