[[Toronto Transit Commission Eglinton Division|Eglinton Division]] was the first to received these buses. This was followed by [[Toronto Transit Commission Arrow Rd. Division|Arrow Division]] and [[Toronto Transit Commission Birchmount Division|Birchmount Division]]. All the 7600-series buses were moved from Arrow to Eglinton in 2008, however some units were moved back in November of that year to provide Arrow with diesel buses to operate route [[Toronto Transit Commission route 191 'Highway 27 Rocket'|191]]. Eglinton's entire division was made up exclusively of buses from this series, as is the majority of Birchmount's roster.
[[Toronto Transit Commission Eglinton Division|Eglinton Division]] was the first to receive these buses. This was followed by [[Toronto Transit Commission Arrow Rd. Division|Arrow Road]] and [[Toronto Transit Commission Birchmount Division|Birchmount ]]. Once the order was complete, the split between the garages was as follows:
 
* 7400-7557 at Eglinton
* 7558-7699 at Arrow Road
* 7700-7809 at Eglinton
* 7810-7881 at Birchmount
 
All the 7600-series buses were moved from Arrow to Eglinton in 2008, however some units were moved back in November of that year to provide Arrow with diesel buses to operate route [[Toronto Transit Commission route 191 'Highway 27 Rocket'|191]]. Once 7558-7699 had been permanently transferred to Eglinton, 7700-7809 were moved to Birchmount. At various points over their lives, high numbered 7600s and low numbered 7700s would shuffle back and forth between Eglinton and Birchmount. Eglinton's entire division was made up exclusively of buses from this series, as was the majority of Birchmount's roster.


Between July and September 2017, Birchmount units 7876, 7879, 7880, 7881, 7882 were temporarily transferred to Eglinton due to rapid speed of buses retiring. Between late 2017 and early 2018, Eglinton units 7575, 7707, 7709, 7711, 7712, 7713, 7715, 7883 were transferred to Birchmount.
