Rapid transit or express version of streetcar route, so "streetcar rapid transit" or "streetcar express". But "SRT" might be confusing because of the Scarborough RT, so "🞵🞵🞵" is the obvious choice.
Likewise, those "REX" or "regional express" lines are rapid transit version of GO Train, so high frequency like subway, but for longer distances with longer stop spacing, like S-Bahn or BART. Of course, there many other possibilities for branding a GO/regional rapid transit network, but with "🞵🞵🞵" it only makes sense to have "REX" as well.

Hey if you can manage to make streetcars sound 🞵🞵🞵🞵, I'm all for it.
