Bus routes
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) uses buses and other vehicles for public transportation. In 2018, the TTC bus system had 159 bus routes carrying over 264million riders over 6,686 kilometres (4,154 mi) of routes with buses travelling 143 million kilometres (89 million mi) in the year.[4] As of 2021[update], the TTC has 192 bus routes in operation, including 28 night bus routes.[5] In 2023, the system had a ridership of 362,041,400, or about 1,212,500 per weekday as of the first quarter of 2024.
Bus routes extend throughout the city and are integrated with the subway system and the streetcar system, with free transfers among the three systems. Many subway stations are equipped with bus terminals, and a few with streetcar terminals, located within a fare paid area.
As of 2021[update], the bus system has about 2,100 buses.[6] Bus propulsion includes diesel, diesel-electric hybrid, battery-electric and gasoline. Four bus lengths are used: regular buses 12 metres (40 ft) long, articulated buses 18 metres (60 ft) long and minibuses either 8 metres (26 ft) or 6 metres (20 ft) long.[7] All buses are fully accessible with low floors and, except for minibuses, all are equipped with bicycle racks.[5]
