Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) provides city-wide public transportation with a network of subways, streetcars, and buses operating across Toronto. The system includes four subway lines, more than 140 bus routes, and one of North America’s largest streetcar networks, designed to connect downtown, urban neighbourhoods, and suburban communities with frequent service throughout the day.

Key Features of Toronto Transit

• Subway Network: Four rapid transit lines form the backbone of the system, providing high-capacity service across major travel corridors.

• Streetcar Network: Toronto operates the largest streetcar system in North America, primarily serving downtown and central neighbourhoods with frequent stops and reliable service.

• Bus Network: Extensive bus routes connect areas not served by subway or streetcar lines, including outer suburban communities.

• Service Times: Subway service generally runs from approximately 6 a.m. until 1–2 a.m., with overnight “Blue Night” bus routes operating 24/7 along major corridors.

• Accessibility: Most subway stations and all buses and streetcars are accessible, with ongoing station upgrades improving barrier-free access.

• Technology: Riders can use the TTC website, transit apps, and the PRESTO fare system for trip planning, contactless payment, and real-time updates.

• Regional Connections: TTC integrates with regional transit through GO Transit, allowing commuters to travel throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

• The system continues expanding through major projects such as new subway extensions and light rail lines aimed at improving travel times and serving growing suburban areas.
