History
The Toronto Transit Commission was formed as the Toronto Transportation Commission in 1921 as a consolidation of private streetcar lines and the public Toronto Civic Railways. The Toronto Transportation Commission was renamed the Toronto Transit Commission on January 1, 1954, and it was placed under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The TTC became the sole provider of public transit in Metro Toronto after acquiring the privately owned Danforth Bus Lines, Hollinger Bus Lines, Roseland Bus Lines, and West York Coach Lines.
Current fleet roster
As of December 29, 2019, the TTC has approximately 2563 buses (conventional/wheeltran/community), 204 streetcars, and 878 rapid transit (subway/RT) cars in the active fleet. The entire surface fleet (excluding three of the five historic streetcars and one historical bus) feature the Surface Vehicle Automated Stop Announcement System (SVASAS), Vehicle Information System & Integrated Operations Network (VISION), and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras. All buses except the Wheel Trans vehicles, Community Buses and TTC1 have bicycle racks. Subway and RT cars are equipped with Automated Stop Announcements and the Toronto Rocket subway cars have CCTV cameras.
