 Getting Around TorontoPublic transport in Toronto is fast, safe and reliable
consisting of an integrated system of subways, buses and streetcars
that reach every part of the city, as well as a light rapid transit
(LRT) line extending to the Harbourfront. The subway is easy to
use, with only two major lines, and the buses and streetcar
stations are next to every major stop, taking over where the subway
leaves off. Fares are standard and a single fare will take you
anywhere on a single trip; tokens can be used to avoid the hassle
of having to pay with exact change. To freely change from one form
of transport to another, get a transfer slip when and where paying
for the fare. The subway operates from 6am to 1.30am, the buses and
streetcars from about 5am to 12.30am (both start at 9am on
Sundays), and the Blue Night Network services main street routes
after 1.30am. The Request Stop Program allows women travelling
alone late at night to get off the bus anywhere in between stops.
Taxis are always available and ferries travel to the Toronto
Islands. Driving a hire car is not recommended due to traffic
congestion and expensive parking. |
