Torontobusphotography Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Calling all TTC transfer collectors! Please feel free to include scans/pictures of TTC bus/streetcar transfers in this thread. I’m trying to collect all the routes, and I’m missing a few, especially blue night. If you have any blue night transfers please add to this thread. Discontinued routes are also welcomed but I am interested in any TTC transfer.

Torontobusphotography Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Interesting. I actually don’t have the 329 transfer in my collection and don’t know a way to get it without going out at 2-3:00 am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK78 Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Speaking of paper transfers... how long does the TTC plan to use them? Other transit agencies have thermal printers that just print the transfer like on the streetcars. Cash payment is still probably gonna be accepted for a long time, and these archaic transfers are from an era gone by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash payment is still probably gonna be accepted for a long time, and these archaic transfers are from an era gone by. When they figure out how to print transfers that work on the turnstiles. Especially with the downtown U section on Line 1 except for Wellesley which don't have fare paid zones. Having to show transfer for the ticket collector to verify before letting the passenger through. Off-hand I know Ottawa's OC Transpo has the QR reader code for the regular transfers and one day passes that can be scanned at the turnstiles. Vancouver on the other hand, if you pay with cash on-board a bus route and transferring to SkyTrain, the passenger would have to purchase a new ticket at the station that will work on the turnstiles. Paying twice in that case. Cash payment will be around long-term, but most likely the cost of retrofitting to accommodate a small volume isn't worthwhile. Especially with Presto cards and tickets being the major push marketing the benefits such as two-hour transfers. Something that isn't provided with cash fares which is still a one-way continuous transfer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which also accepts the Sto's old school transfers ( they have a Qr code on them) the Multi day pases are on reloadable Smart Cards I can't see why the TTC can't get Qr code readers on the turnstiles & have Qr codes printed on the transfers.

H4 5600 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Heres some 1990's ttc transfers. I believe the queen transfers are from 1995, the blue york mills transfer is from 1994, and the others are from 1993. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4 5600 Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Here is some even older transfers. Some transfers from various events, some exhibition transfers from the 1970's, and some less common colors of the older transfer design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontobusphotography Posted July 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 @H4 5600 is the CHAPLIN transfer the same route as the present day 14 Glencairn bus? Sad that they wouldn’t print special transfers for the Santa Claus Parade nowadays. Different times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the santa claus parade and grey cup transfers, my guess is they were for some sort of shuttle service for those events. I could be wrong though, if anyone knows anything more about those please reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torontobusphotography Posted July 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Does anyone know if it’s possible to obtain (expired or unused, presumably) booklets of transfers from the TTC? I’m looking for them for my collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontobusphotography Posted July 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I find it strange that the TTC renumbered the 190 and 191 transfers, but kept the 192 even though the route has been renumbered for about 3 years now... Here’s one from today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Walton Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Something that's always struck me as odd: the transfer cutters on TTC buses (and older streetcars) are angled toward the passenger instead of the operator. That's all but an open invitation for non-paying passengers to grab a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
