The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) reached a new service milestone, completing 34 billion customer trips on the transit agency’s bus, streetcar, and subway networks since operations began in 1921.
The 34 billionth trip was made on April 4 and follows a year of significant ridership growth. In 2024, customers took 420 million trips on the TTC — an increase of 23.5 million rides from 2023.
“Achieving 34 billion rides after a year of solid ridership growth shows us that customers are relying on TTC buses, streetcars, and the subway network to get where they need to go,” said TTC CEO Greg Percy. “The TTC has experienced annual ridership increases for the last three years, having reached nearly 420 million trips in 2024, which could not be possible without the skill and professionalism of our workforce who work tirelessly to get our customers from A to B safely.”
