English: Toledo's Community Traction Company (CTC) began operations on February 1, 1921 after acquiring the operations of the Toledo Railway & Light Company (TR&L). One of the first moves by the new CTC operation were the abandonments of 2 trolley lines in 1921 and one additional line in 1922. None of these were replaced by bus service but by the jitneys. City Council voted to regulate the jitney service to protect the CTC in July of 1921. This started to reduce the number of jitneys in service and then in January of 1922, all jitneys were banned from the Downtown area. This action reduced the number down to just under 80 running on 9 routes. Around December of 1922, the CTC applied for and received approval to institute bus service on a portion of the Oak Street car line which was also approved for abandonment. This marked the first rail to bus conversion in the CTC system and commenced on April 2, 1923 with 4 new Garford coaches. By the mid 1920's, a proposal was submitted to take over the 9 routes currently operated by jitneys. Between 1945 and 1948, 171 new buses were purchased to complete the conversion of the remaining rail lines. Trolley service ended in Toledo on May 28, 1952.
