Toronto's transit police don't mess around. My first visit to the city I boarded a street car without realizing there was no way to pay once onboard at the time. The transit cops who requested a ticket were quite belligerent but took putty on the poor American tourist. In subsequent visits I've seen them forcibly remove riders without tickets. I wouldn't want to run a fowl of them again!

On the subject of Toronto, their streetcars are side running but move right along through very busy streets. I love using them whenever I visit. Detroit could learn a lot from Toronto on how to make the most of the Q Line.
