Toronto TransportationToronto Transportation Systems make condo living a dream - no more gridlock, just jump the Red Rocket. Theres even 24 hour a day bus service.Coming from a small town where buses came along when they wanted to and meanwhile I froze (or roasted), Toronto was a dream come true. My Toronto condo is right on the subway line and my MetroPass takes me where I want to go, when I want to go and no parking cost, no car insurance, no gas cost, no gridlock and no headaches. Toronto has North America's second largest public transit system after New York City. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) provides public transit within the City of Toronto. Its backbone is the city's subway system, which includes the "U"-shaped north-south Yonge-University-Spadina line, the east-west Bloor-Danforth line, the east-west Sheppard line through the northern part of the city, and the Scarborough RT line running through the eastern part of the city (Scarborough). The TTC also operates an extensive network of buses and streetcars.
Plus the Go Transit system operated by the Government of Ontario is a huge rail and bus transit system that links Toronto with neighbouring cities and suburbs. They run 38 trains on 7 train lines run 179 trips, and carry over 160,000 passengers a day. An additional 288 buses feed the main rail lines Canada's busiest airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), is located along the city's western boundary with Mississauga.
