In 1921, following an Ontario Provincial Act in 1920, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is created, assuming responsibility for nine separate public transit systems within the limits of Canada's largest city. Primarily a streetcar operation at the time, the TTC begins running its first buses. Today, the TTC runs 1,600 buses and more than 1,000 railcars, making it one of the five largest public transit properties in North America.

Also in 1921, New York begins what is considered to be America's first successful trackless trolley bus operation. L.A.'s earlier version only lasted from 1910 to 1915.
