TTC Route NumbersLast updated February 19th, 2002 |

Here is the result of their research, showing all the TTC routes that were operated since the numbering system was introduced in 1956 (following approval at a Commission meeting in February of that year). While we are confident that all regular TTC routes that were assigned a route number are included on the list, some dates may not be exact. Some special service routes (such as the CNE Express buses) were assigned numbers in the 700 series. If you have any corrections or additions, please forward that information to the Society and identify your source.

It can be presumed that the other readings also did not correspond to the final route numberings that were adopted the following year. (Number 43 was assigned to KENNEDY, while NORTH YONGE became route 59.) The tri-colour linnen signs were used from 1956 until 1985 when they began to be replaced with white on black (later yellow on black) mylar signs which could be produced in one third of the time.
