Streetcars in Toronto use narrow gauge rails and trucks on the city streets in order to provide for and blend two lanes of vehicular traffic each way. Speed and reliability is limited by those environmental factors.
Toronto streetcars run TTC gauge which is 60mm wider than standard gauge. It sure isn't narrow.
LRT's use dedicated surface access and Toronto's first dedicated LRT was planned and enacted a few short years ago.
Well they are working on it. Those are standard gauge, so slightly narrower than the streetcars and subways. -- Len Sorensen
