Getting around Toronto

Toronto’s public transport consists of a connected network of subways, buses and streetcars that offer safe, efficient and reliable transport. With all of those options, as well as a light rapid transit reaching to the Harborfront, you can get anywhere in the city. The subway has four lines and buses and streetcars can be boarded at every major subway stop. After 1:30am the Blue Night Network services the main streets. And don’t be afraid to travel alone if you’re a woman. The Request Stop Program allows women to get off the bus anywhere between stops. Cabs are easy to find and you can take ferries to the Toronto Islands. Renting a car in the city isn’t worth it. Traffic is awful and parking expensive.
