April 14, 1956

Last day of operation. Route replaced the following day by new 43 KENNEDY and 15 BRIMLEY bus routes operating from Luttrell Loop.

43 KENNEDY and 15 BRIMLEY were the first bus routes to receive route numbers and new destination signs since the TTC abandoned bus route numbers in the mid 1920s. The route numbering system established in the 1950s began with buses operating out of Birchmount Garage and continued garage by garage until completed in 1958.
