Gray Coach Lines was suburban bus operator founded in 1927 by the Toronto Transit Commission. Gray Coach used inter-urban coaches to link Toronto to outlying areas throughout Southern Ontario. In addition, Gray Coach operated tour bus operations in association with Gray Line tours. The main terminal was at the Toronto Bus Terminal on Elizabeth Street, downtown. In 1954 Gray Coach expanded further when it acquired suburban routes from independent bus operators not mergered with TTC bus routes following the creation of Metro Toronto. By 1980s, Gray Coach faced fierce competition in the inter-urban service in the GTA and the TTC was forced to sell in 1989 to British carrier Stage-Coach Holdings Ltd and again in 1991 to Greyhound Lines of Canada and Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services.
