Photo - Winter 2012
December 16, 2011 was the last day of GM New Look operation in Toronto.
The first New Looks entered service in 1959, so this date represented
the end of 52 years of service by this iconic bus. Speculation remains
that TTC will preserve two New Look buses for historical purposes,
however little information is known or confirmed at this time. The
retirement of the New Look means that TTC now operates a fully
accessible bus fleet although TTC's ultimate goal is a 100% low-floor
fleet.
In the photo above, the last GM New Look to operate in service in
Toronto, 2281, is seen on Queens Quay at Jarvis St. on June 18, 2010.
