	Toronto Transit Commission - Gurupedia
		Toronto's first public transportation company was the Williams Omnibus Bus Line, which carried passengers in horse-drawn stagecoaches along Yonge Street between the St. Lawrence Market and the Village of Yorkville for sixpence in 1849.
		January 1, 1954, the Toronto Transportation Commission was renamed the Toronto Transit Commission and public transit was placed under the jurisdiction of the new Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
		Because the TTC has maintained a large portion of its pre-World War II streetcar system, the streetcar routes operate in prewar style, with almost all of the route mileage in traffic rather than on reserved track.

	History of the PCC Streetcars
		The Toronto Transit Commission (then called the Toronto Transportation Commission) took responsibility for all public transit in Toronto on September 1st, 1921.
		It was the job of the TTC to combine both previous systems into one, uniform system that would serve the needs of Toronto for years to come.
		By 1950, the TTC had set in place a policy that would spell the end for streetcars in Toronto - they had created an abandonment policy.&nnbsp; Simply put, when a streetcar vehicle needed to be rebuilt, it was scrapped, and when a streetcar route required heavy maintenence, it was scrapped.

		The risk with the big plans -- the Greater Toronto Authority and the Hydro corridors and the subways -- the risk with that stuff is we forget the bread and butter, and that's the lesson we should have learned from the 1990s.
		Toronto is successful and we fund the other orders of government to some extent.
		Travel in Toronto at this point is chaotic, as the City absorbs a number of smaller transit operators when it expands its borders.

		This subtraction from TTC's streetcar operations was the 312 St. Clair night car, which had operated between St. Clair Station and Gunn's Loop between 1:30 a.m.
		TTC initiated the change as a means of providing a new overnight transit service for customers on St. Clair Avenue west of Gunn's Loop and on Jane Street between St. Clair Avenue and Bloor Street.
		Twenty-five years later, under Toronto Transportation Commission management, St. Clair became a testing ground for the TTC's new PCC cars, and was the first line in the city to host the streamliners in regular service.

		While the vast majority of the GTA is served by public transportation, the automobile has given the residents of the GTA a mode of transportation which allows them to travel where they want and when they want, reducing the overall percentage of riders who use public transit.
		In addition to this, the smog and pollution from cars, and the elimination of the need to walk to and from destinations has reduced the overall health of the population, resulting in illness, premature death, and strain on the health care system.
		This web site is meant to outline ways which an interregional transportation network can be organized and operated, and provide a glimpse into what the future of transportation in the GTA can be with a steady, reliable funding formula, and a little imagination and vision.
