but the kneeling buses aren't too prevalent yet, as I'm sure the TTC has too many buses to get them all replaced at once... but they're slowly getting there. Rule of thumb, if there's a nursing/retirement/longterm care facility along a route, chances are a kneeling bus travels the route.

Not quite, in fact if you review the accesible route map that the TTC provides at the following link TTC Accessible route map you'll find that there are many stations along both the north/south & west/east subway lines that are not accessible (Only those stations marked with a blue sign & wheelchair symbol are)
The TTC has grandiose "plans" but all of them hinge on getting dollars that they don't have to do the retrofits. Same problem with the GO train service.
