Toronto Assessible Transit Services

The para-transit system was created in 1975 and operating on behalf of the TTC, Metro Toronto and the province of Ontario. WheelTrans was taken over by the TTC in 1986. WheelTrans buses run according to a regular route while others are dispatched through pre-arranged appointments. Some of the system's services are contracted out to outside operators (mainly taxis) using specially equipped minivans.
