New city bus route from Jane Loop (at Jane & Bloor) via Jane Street, Annette Street and Runnymede Road, wyeing at the Dundas & Runnymede intersection, returning via the same route. The JANE route replaced the HIGH PARK bus, which ran along Annette between Jane and Runnymede from September 20th, 1921 to August 8th, 1924.

Toronto Transportation Commission bus number 1, a 1921 5th Avenue Coach Company model L. The route sign says JANE, but I believe these are posed pictures because there are different route numbers on the front and side, and the bus is parked against the left curb!
