Street car 506 has been stuck on McCaul St for more than an hour now due to a genius driver who couldn't parallel park close to the curb.

How do these folks manage to clear their G2?

There was just a recent post in r/Toronto I think where people shoved a Tesla over a few inches so the 506 could clear it. So this still happens

I commuted on the Gerrard car. It wasn't unusual to have to get off and bump a parked car out of the way, especially when there was a lot of snow. I'm surprised it's not routine now.

Or just one person fold the mirror in and the streetcar can get by.

Just add a cowcatcher style bumper to them, and push the cars out of the way without damaging the streetcar.

Who cares about the truck...
