- Williams_Omnibus_Bus_Line abstract "Williams Omnibus Bus Lines was the first mass transportation system in the old City of Toronto, Canada with four six-passenger buses. Established in 1849 by local cabinetmaker Burt Williams, it consisted of horse-drawn stagecoaches operating from the St. Lawrence Market to the Red Lion Hotel in Yorkville. The bus line was a great success, and four larger vehicles were added in 1850. After a few years, even more buses were in use, and were operating every few minutes. In 1861, the city gave a 30-year franchise for to Toronto Street Railways who built a horse car line, and the gauge of the buses was modified so as to fit between the tracks. The bus system lasted only until 1862, when it was bought out by the TSR. The omnibuses were manufactured by Williams' own cabinet-making store on Yonge Street, H. Burt Williams.Prior to Williams' operations, there were a variety of stagecoach operators in the city: Marlborough Stage Rossin House Hotel - King and Wellington Streets Charles Thompson - Yonge Street at Elgin Mills Hotel in Richmond Hill, Ontario to St. Lawrence Market Barnabas Vanderburgh's Hotel in Richmond Hill, Ontario Eastern Mail Stage Rouge - Scarborough, Ontario Markham Village - Markham Village Western Mail Stage - Lambton House to Dundas Streetsville - now part of Mississauga Holland Landing - from York to Holland Landing Pine Grove to Weston, Ontario Canadian Transfer Company Samuel D.
