3.Operations and other information
4.The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is a public transport authority that operates buses, streetcars, subways, and rapid transit lines in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.The TTC operates 149 surface transit routes, of which 148 routes make 243 connections with a subway or rapid transit station during weekday rush hours.In 2006, the TTC carried 444,544,000 passengers, 3,229,000 passengers daily (2,033,000 revenue passengers).The TTC employed 10,930 personnel in 2006.North America (after the New York City Transit Authority and the Mexico City Metro).An approximate 4,500 trips are made through this service daily."Ride the Rocket" in advertising material for the TTC (which uses the phrase to advertise the entire system), and the use of the word "Rocket" in the names of some express buses.The entire system is also promoted as "The Better Way".Much debate exists over whether or not the TTC is in fact "The Better Way".In 1954, the TTC adopted its present name, opened its first subway line, and greatly expanded its service area to cover the newly formed municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (which eventually became the enlarged city of Toronto).The system has evolved to feature a wide network of bus routes with the subway lines as the backbone.Finances
Historically, the TTC recovered its operating costs from the fare box.This was especially true during the Great Depression and World War II, when it accumulated the considerable wealth which allowed it to expand widely after the war.TTC received operational subsides from both the municipal level of government, and the provincial level.Since then, the TTC has consistently been in financial difficulties, as was demonstrated by the 2007 Budget Crisis, during which mothballing the Sheppard subway was considered, and 38 bus routes were selected to be cut.These cuts were averted when Toronto City Council voted to introduce new taxes to help pay for city services, including the TTC.The three subway lines use the same technology, while the Scarborough RT has many differences.All subway lines provide service seven days a week from approximately 6:00 a.Service is provided throughout this period of time by buses operating above ground.These special overnight routes are issued numbers in the 300 series and referred to as Blue Night routes, indicated by a typical TTC bus stop sign with a blue band added.Eglinton West subway line, but the project was cancelled before significant progress was made.LRT route which would span almost the entire length of the city from the Airport to Scarborough.To a large extent, subway development is being shelved for now, partly due to the exorbitant cost of it, and partly due to the lack of subway level demand.CP rail line to The East Mall (major artery) near Cloverdale Mall (shopping centre), however this is unlikely to be built in the near future given the recent plans for a regional bus terminal at Kipling Station, the current terminus.In September 2006, Toronto City Council approved a contract for 234 cars from Bombardier Transportation.TTC streetcar on Dundas Street.City of Toronto and the TTC on March 16, 2007, in the Transit City report.Now, all TTC vehicles have the automated announcement.The Automated announcements came after the TTC was ordered to announce all stops on Buses and Streetcars isssued by a blind corporate lawyer; David Lepofsky.The TTC's current fleet of streetcars is nearing the end of their useful life, and the TTC will be buying at least 204 new LRVs.These new vehicles will likely be costly, as the TTC's network has unique challenges such as steep grades on hills and a unique track gauge.Buses are a large part of TTC operations today, but before about 1960, they played a minor role compared to streetcars.The TTC always used the term trolley coach to refer to its trackless electric vehicles.Now, all buses in the TTC have the automated announcement.Orion VII, and the TTC has recently acquired many hybrid buses.In 1954, Gray Coach expanded further when it acquired suburban routes from independent bus operators not merged with the TTC as it expanded to cover Metro Toronto.The TTC sold Gray Coach Lines in 1990.Since the 1990s, the TTC has focused in providing accessible services on conventional bus routes, the RT and subway.The ferry service to the Toronto Islands was operated by the TTC from 1927 until 1962, when it was transferred to the Metro Parks and Culture department.Operations and other information
Most TTC operations are based either at the William McBrien building (TTC headquarters and MDP Office) at 1900 Yonge Street (over Davisville subway station), or at the Hillcrest complex (TTC's Transit Control office) located at Bathurst and Davenport Streets.Terminals
Most TTC surface routes terminate at loops, side streets or subway station complexes.The TTC fare system accepts cash, tickets, tokens, and transit passes.Greater Toronto Area similar to the Octopus Card used in Hong Kong.Union station will be first station to use the card in 2007 and four other stations (Don Mills, Downsview, Finch, and Islington) by 2010.Schedules and information
Before the use of the TTC website, TTC patrons were able to obtain route information from various sources:
Paper schedules and system maps from drivers and collector booths
Fax number to obtain schedules and maps
TimeLine: Most stops had a phone number to obtain the schedule for the select route.This system was shut down on January 1, 2000, due to Year 2000 constraints.Davisville Station 1900 Yonge St.Shelters
The shelters used by the systems are split between CBS Outdoor (formerly Viacom Media) (with ads) and Toronto Transportation.Advertising
Advertising is commonplace and prominent in all TTC vehicles and locations.In 2005, the TTC began installing video screens in subway stations to display advertising, news, weather, and safety information.This project is run by Toronto based ONESTOP Media Group.The agency contracted to post ads on the TTC is CBS Outdoor.However, the amount of money the TTC receives for allowing advertising on its property is very small.For the year ending 2003, the TTC received 2.The TTC sells a line of merchandise through Legacy Sportswear, which is available online or at their store "TTC Transit Stuff" at the Union subway station.When Matt Blackett, publisher of Spacing Magazine, approached the TTC in 2005 with an idea to sell buttons, each of which represented the colour scheme and design of a particular subway station, the TTC declined.Blackett went on to manufacture the buttons himself.Communications
The TTC utilizes several types of voice and data communications.There are three main systems.This system is spread out city wide with transmit facilities throughout the city.Each bus and streetcar has a TRUMP set onboard.The TRUMP also allows the operators and CIS operators to send and receive text messages for such things as short turns and route adjustments.There is also the option of voice communications between the operator and the CIS operator.There is also a built in emergency option, whereby a vehicle operator presses a red alarm.The third system is used by the subway system.This is called the Wayside system.The Scarborough RT is not included in this system.Safety systems
Safety features provided by the TTC include:
Request Stop Program on surface routes (9 p.The program was started in 1991, due largely in part to the activities of serial killer Paul Bernardo (also known as "the Scarborough Rapist").TTC Special Constables
Underground Alert messages displayed on the subway platform video screens to notify passengers about criminals.Auctions
Each year the TTC auctions off items left on vehicles and not claimed.In 2005, the TTC launched an online auction via eBay Canada and Rite Auction Services.Underground Alert system
On June 12, 2007, the TTC in partnership with the Toronto Crime Stoppers and ONESTOP Media Group have launched a new Underground Alert system at the Toronto Police Headquarters.Amber Alert system
In addition to the new Underground Alert system, the TTC already airs the Amber Alert messages on approximately 100 subway platform video screens at over 60 subway stations along with Amber Alert messages heard on the public address systems in subway trains and subway platforms and displayed on TTC buses.When an Amber Alert is activated, all TTC operators are notified by their C.Amber Alert has been activated, and put up the Amber Alert signs on TTC buses.New subway trains coming out in 2009 will have Amber Alert messages displayed on the ticker and on the public address systems.Total membership (2005) is approximately 8,000 members.Strike shuts down TTC service for 19 days

TTC Operators and Subway Station Collectors wear uniforms consisting of a light blue shirt with TTC crest (long and short sleeves) and grey slacks.TTC crest, and grey shorts are worn according to weather.Some vehicle operators tend to wear dark navy blue toques with TTC lettering during the winter months.Some vehicle operators wear a blue baseball cap with white TTC crest.Some of the maintenance staff wear dark blue or green coveralls with TTC crest along with an orange fluorescent jacket with a large yellow X with the "TTC" lettering on the back.Honour Guard
The TTC Honour Guard represents the TTC at city ceremonies and police funerals.The unit was formed in 1994 from TTC Operations supervisory ranks following the funeral for Toronto Police Constable Todd Baylis.TTC Special Constable Services is the safety and security division of the transit system and the officers are sworn in by Toronto Police Service, York Regional Police and Peel Regional Police.They patrol properties, vehicles and the subway system throughout the entire area served by the TTC.See also
