Hey folks,

One of the photos I took of the Scarborough RT is on Transit Toronto,
probably the best website about the TTC:

For those of you outside the GTA, the Scarborough RT is a quirky little
transit system that runs for six stops in the east end of Toronto.  What's
unusual about the SRT is that it uses linear induction technology, sort of
like a railgun or a maglev, except it doesn't shoot aluminum rounds or
levitate.  The ICTS technology is also used in the Vancouver Skytrain.
