The Way We Were: Toronto's real first electric buses - which is the best electric toothbrush to buy

For many of us, media coverage and its associated headlines are often quick, concise coverage that goes through the surface of breaking news coverage.
Typically, these reports only provide a sufficient amount of information to continue their day.
Sometimes they leave a person sitting, because what they have just reported is actually wrong, or more generous, than completely correct.

To be fair, once you get into the subject of the recently released media coverage, the author does explain what the Commission really thinks --
This is the purchase with "on-
Board "power supply in the form of rechargeable battery.
Therefore, no poles or overhead wires are required.
This is an important difference.
However, the incomplete title on the title of the media report did accomplish one thing.
This allows me to tell the story of TTC's initial attempt to run a team of electric buses, an attempt that began nearly a century ago.
