Toronto Transit Commission bus fleet
The Toronto Transit Commission bus fleet is the collection of transit buses owned and used by the Toronto Transit Commission for its bus routes in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Current fleet
Surface
Most buses (aside from the 62 feet (19 m) articulated Nova LFS buses) are 40 feet (12.16 metres) long. All buses are used in local and express (including BRT) service and are equipped for wheelchairs..
Wheel-Trans operates a fleet of 320 active vehicles. Not all vehicles are the same length, but all of the vehicles are not in over 40 feet in length.
Numbering of buses prior to 2013 used the same four-digit format as the TTC regular fleet. Starting in 2010, Wheel-Trans' newer buses used a numeric format starting with W and followed by three digits.
