Scarborough RT

The Scarborough RT is an ICTS (Intermediate Capacity Transit System) light rail system in eastern Toronto, Ontario, Canada that uses technology similar to Vancouver's Skytrain. It goes in an upside-down L shape: northward from the Kennedy TTC subway stop to Ellesmere Rd, and eastward along Ellesmere through Scarborough Centre to McCowan.

The purpose of implementing ICTS in Scarborough rather than extending the existing subway line was to develop a new technology that could then be sold to other transit companies. This idea has so far borne no fruit.
