Does anyone know if there are still any tram routes (or should I say streetcars?) in Toronto that still use trolley poles?

The idea of a trolley pole on a modern low floor articulated tram seems quite interesting.

Yes, and occasionally they get caught up or detach and the driver has to get out with a very long stick to rectify things!

And definitely a 'streetcar' in Toronto!
