When Toronto's streetcars hit a rare open stretch of road, the metallic grind gives way to an airy electric hum, and for a fleeting moment, there is a feeling that one is hurtling along the knife's edge of the future. Seconds later, the illusion shatters: the car grinds to a halt, at a stop or more often, in traffic.

A 38-year-old man was fatally struck by a train on Tuesday that was pulling into a Brooklyn subway station. The victim was on the track bed as a southbound N train was pulling into the Kings Highway station around 5:54 p.m. near Kings Highway and W. Seventh St. in Gravesend. The conductor failed to stop in time and struck the man, cops said.

Ontario hasn't provided a public update on when a major Mississauga transit line will be completed in more than five years, according to internal documents, as work continues on the light-rail project originally set to open last fall. Premier Doug Ford's government first awarded a contract to build the Hurontario LRT in October 2020 and pegged the completion date to the fall of 2024. Partway through 2025, the line has yet to open.
