About Toronto Transit Commission

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is a public transport agency that operates transit bus, streetcar, and rapid transit services in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Established in 1954, the TTC has grown to comprise four rapid transit lines with a total of 69 stations, as well as over 149 bus routes and 11 streetcar lines, of which 148 routes make 243 connections – more... with a rapid transit station during weekday rush hours.

The TTC operates the fourth most heavily used urban mass transit system in North America (after the New York City Transit Authority, the Mexico City Metro and the Société de transport de Montréal).As of 2010, the average daily ridership is 2.487 million passengers: 1,254,600 by bus, 285,600 by streetcar, and 948,100 by subway/RT.] The TTC also provides door-to-door services for persons with physical disabilities known as Wheel-Trans; in first quarter, 2010, 8,900 trips were made through this service daily. The TTC employed 11,861 personnel in 2008.

Colloquially, the subway cars were known as "red rockets", a nickname originally given to Gloucester subway cars, which were painted bright red and which have since been retired. The name lives on as the TTC uses the phrase to advertise the service, such as "Ride the Rocket" in advertising material, "Rocket" in the names of some express buses, and the upcoming "Toronto Rocket" subway cars, with the first train due to begin revenue operation starting July 21, 2011. Another common slogan is "The Better Way". – less
