the King has returned (vehicles, rating, transit)

TTC returns 504A King streetcar service after a long hiatus since January 2021

I've always liked Toronto's streetcar system and happy to see it getting some improvements

I remember when the #504 was one unbroken line, not A-B. I last rode it in 2016 on my second to last time on a classic unairconditioned CLRV. The increase in vehicular traffic in Downtown plus the enormous ridership on the line likely contributed to splitting it into two overlapping routes.

Another King is coming to Toronto from the Bjarne Ingels Group.

This looks sort of cool, but it also looks sort of grotesque. I'm not sure I'd call this "integrating" the heritage commercial properties so much as a radical tumorous growth enveloping them. It is pretty eye-catching though.
