The City of Toronto Archives is celebrating TTC’s rich history virtually through its TTC: 100 Years of Moving Toronto photography exhibit on the City of Toronto Archives website.
The exhibit showcases a wealth of newly digitized images of female employees at the TTC during the Second World War, accessible vehicles since the 1940s, and construction shots of Line 1 and Line 4. Also highlighted are 21st century innovations such as low-floor streetcars, electric buses and green roofs at TTC facilities. It’s a larger glimpse into TTC’s history that expands on the exhibits in the select subway stations.
