TTC Page
The Toronto Transit Commission, or TTC, is the
largest transit system in Canada, serving a population of 2.5 million, and the third
most heavily used system in North America, after New York and Mexico City. With over 2000 buses, the TTC has the largest
bus fleet in Canada and the fourth largest in North America, behind New York’s
MTA Regional Bus Operations, Los Angeles’ LACMTA, and New Jersey’s NJ
Transit. The TTC also has a fleet of 248
streetcars, the only city in Canada to have retained its original streetcar
service, as well as 678 subway cars and 28 light-rail cars for the Scarborough
RT. Almost all bus routes connect with
the subway system, which was opened in 1954 and has since been expanded to
three lines extending across the city with plans to extend the subway into York
Region. Bus models currently in service
include Orion V and VII, New Flyer D40LF, and NovaBus LFS Artic and RTS buses.
