Are there any traction systems that still use PCC cars?
Toronto Transit Commission has 2 on the roster, but they are used only for charter service.
A number of their old PCCs have gone to small new systems in the US.

Here are some cities I know about:
Boston still uses about 12 of them on one line that connects to the red line.
Kenoshoa, Wisc. Has a line with ex- Toronto cars
Philadelphia- will use them again next year on the route 15 Girrard Ave line when this reopens. They also use them on the Holiday trolley service and charters.
San Francisco has a fleet used on the Market Street Fisherman’s Wharf line.
Newark New Jersey retired their PCC’s earlier this year.
Pittsburgh- stopped using them last year.
There may be some European systems that still have some they were popular in Belgium, Holland Austria. I know Vienna still has a few.

Colorado Springs has a dozen ex-Philadelphia SEPTA cars / 1 in service, on a short piece of track. A civic group is in the process of restarting a downtown circulator and eventually reviving the area streetcar line plus operating over a short segment of the old Rock Island main track going towards the eastern suburbs.
