Montreal-based manufacturer Bombardier will miss yet another deadline to beef up Toronto transit lines with long-awaited new streetcars, a company spokesperson has said. The company was projected to deliver 65 streetcars to the Toronto Transit Commission by the end of year, but recently revised that down to 64. "We are working over the holidays to honour our commitment," Bombardier spokesperson Eric Prud'Homme told CBC News. Since the city awarded Bombardier a more than $1-billion contract in 2009, the company has repeatedly missed its delivery targets. On Friday morning, TTC spokesperson Brad Ross emailed a brief statement to CBC Toronto about the latest missed deadline.
