TTC - The better way for a reason and other Toronto, Canada Transportation Tips

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: Leave your car where you parked it! That is if you are so lucky to get a spot! Traffid during the weekdays is a nightmare getting to or from just about anywhere and Torontonians are not that nice when they are behind the wheel!
Take the TTC (Toronto Transit Commision). The TTC is $2.25 cash fare, and less if you buy tokens or tickets. A family day pass is about $7 for up to 2 adults and 4 children. This pass gives you unlimited rides for the entire day. Imagine that this cost is about what you can expect to pay for about 1 hour of parking downtown during the day! The TTC is fast, reliable, safe and clean, despite being underfunded by the government. There are no zones, or time of day surcharges and because the city has a grid system routes are really easy to figure out.

Getting TO/AROUND: GO (Government of Ontario) Transit is a rail and bus system that shuttles people, mainly commuters, around the greater Toronto area (GTA). The fares are cheap and the service is decent along the Lakeshore route. Other routes are hit and miss unless it is rush hour. It is an alternate to taking a cab or more expensive Greyhound bus to outlying areas, but can take a lot longer.
