This article continues a series reviewing the operating speeds of streetcar lines in detail looking at:

• Evolution of travel times from November 2019 to June 2026 by route segment.
• Detailed profiles of operating speeds over the full route for the same months.
• A review of dwell times in June 2026 showing where streetcars are most likely to spend excessive time in the AM and PM peak periods.

The two intervals compared here are:

• June 1-5, 2026: This was just before the upheavals of the World Cup period, but without any construction diversions that would distort the data.
• November 11-15, 2019: This was the first period when route 506 Carlton was scheduled with the new Flexity streetcars.

Issues of note:

• Streetcars are slower in 2026 compared to 2019 on many parts of the route.
• Peak period congestion effects are not consistent across the route. Some delays occur on the outer parts of the route (Upper Gerrard eastbound near Woodbine, College westbound from Dufferin to Dundas).
