TTC → TTC (disambiguation) — per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I disagree with the recent move of TTC (disambiguation) to TTC. "TTC" should redirect to its most commonly attributed abbreviation, "Toronto Transit Commission". Google search shows the Toronto Transit Commission webpage as the first result even when searched in non-Canadian Google sites (such as Google.co.in). In Google News, it refers to news articles about the Toronto Transit Commission. The Wikipedia article traffic statistics also shows that the Toronto Transit Commission page has been visited several more times in the month of January alone in comparison to other articles listed in the disambiguation page for "TTC".

• Being the first result is highly volatile. A better gauge is the first page or first ten pages of results, both of which indicate that there are a number of things people mean when they say TTC. Powers ^T 19:24, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose - this abbreviation is not likely to conjour up the thought of "Toronto Transit Commission" in most people around the world, unless they are from Canada or Ontario. Personally my first thought was "Teacher Training College". It could refer to many things, in other words.  — Amakuru (talk) 23:14, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Move

In spite of the above, I have decided to be WP:BOLD and make the move anyway, so that TTC redirects to the Toronto Transit Commission page. This is what it did originally, and it was only a result of a screw-up that this ever changed: [1] [2]. Of all the items listed, of those that actually go by the name "TTC", the Toronto Transit Commission is the clear primary usage, even if non-Canadians are perhaps somewhat less likely to have heard of it. --RFBailey (talk) 00:01, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: page moved back per consensuius. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:23, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

TTC (disambiguation) → TTC – Despite a clear lack of consensus for the move, RFBailey decided to substitute his or her own judgement and move the page anyway. WP:BOLD was never meant to be used to overturn WP:CONSENSUS. That should be reverted, as no evidence has been presented that TTC primarily means the Toronto transportation authority.

• Support, TTC is common and generic and in the absence of any evidence of a primary topic it should be a disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 00:48, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Other transit agencies

If TTC should not redirect to Toronto Transit Commission, why should BART redirect to Bay Area Rapid Transit? (Check out Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2015_April_8#BART.) <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 17:50, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
