I _think_ that the habit came from Scarborugh mayor (female, forget name). I
_know_ that I picked it up, rather than calling it the toonerville trolley from
the start....just force of habit I guess. I would have rather seen CLRV's on
the RT than ICTS. ICTS was forced down the TTC's neck, and I don't think it
was the best system possible.
