Part of the Wheel-Trans division is Community Bus, which uses smaller buses on a looping route and is primarily geared towards seniors.

History
The Toronto Transit Commission was formed as the Toronto Transportation Commission in 1921 as a consolidation of private streetcar lines and the public Toronto Civic Railways. The Toronto Transportation Commission was renamed the Toronto Transit Commission on January 1, 1954, and it was placed under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.[1] The TTC became the sole provider of public transit in Metro Toronto after acquiring the privately owned Danforth Bus Lines, Hollinger Bus Lines, Roseland Bus Lines, and West York Coach Lines.[2]
Current fleet roster
As of January 2017, the TTC has approximately 2140 buses, 245 streetcars, and 872 subway/RT cars in the active fleet. The entire surface fleet (excluding the three historic streetcars) feature the Surface Vehicle Automated Stop Announcement System (SVASAS) and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras. All buses except the Wheel Trans vehicles, Community Buses and TTC1 have bicycle racks. Subway and RT cars are equipped with Automated Stop Announcements and the Toronto Rocket subway cars have CCTV cameras.
