The city granted the first franchise for a street
railway in 1861. In 1920, a Provincial Act created the
Toronto Transportation Commission (TTC) and, in 1921,
the Commission took over and amalgamated nine existing
fare systems within the city limits. Between 1921 and
1953, the TTC added 35 new routes in the city and
extended 20 more. It also operated 23 suburban routes on
a service-for-cost basis.
The Great Depression and the Second World War both
placed heavy burdens on the ability of municipalities to
finance themselves. During most of the 1930s, municipal
governments had to cope with general welfare costs and
assistance to the unemployed. The war put an end to the
depression and increased migration from rural to urban
areas. After the war, municipalities faced the problem
of extending services to accommodate the increased
population.
