TO Transit History - TTC Past

"When the Bloor Viaduct was built it was provisioned for a subway beneath the road - That subway wasn't built for 50 years and one set of tunnels has never been used - More pictures and the story at this link: https://hikingthegta.com/2018/06/23/the-bloor-viaduct/" - Steve Cook on Facebook - Nov 12'19

The modern TTC (known back then as the Toronto Transportation Commission) launches after a 30-year franchise by the privately-owned Toronto Railway Company (TRC) expired. At the time, Toronto was criss-crossed by streetcars owned by private companies such as the TRC, as well as the city-run Toronto Civic Railways - Nine separate fare systems had to be integrated into a unified TTC system - Over the next 12 years, the TTC added 35 new streetcar routes and extended another 20, while also running 23 routes in the suburbs - thestar.com
