The Toronto Transit Authority provides public transportation services within multiple cities and is the third largest municipal bus system in North America after New York City and Mexico City. The Toronto subway system under the Public Transit Authority is the backbone of the entire network. It has three subway lines and one overhead light rail line. The average weekday ridership in the first quarter of 2010 was 948,100 passengers per day. In addition, the Transit Authority is responsible for operating the city's bus and streetcar systems.
On the other hand, the Ontario government also provides commuter rail and bus services to the Greater Toronto Area. The GO Transit System***, operated by the provincial government, has seven commuter rail lines and multiple feeder bus routes.
Subway
TTC Toronto has two main subway lines. The first is the Yonge-University-Spadina line, which is centered on the entire urban area and is U-shaped from north to south. The other is the Bloor-Dantorth line, which is mainly east-west in the urban area. These two lines connect at Bloor/Yonge Station, St. George Station and Spadina Station respectively, and the cost is CAD 2.10. You can invest cash or use tokens dedicated to ride tickets. One thing to note is that if you use cash, you need to bring your own change, because they don't give change. Or you can buy Token tokens. The more you buy, the better the deal. You can buy it from the ticket vending machine at the station or from the salesperson at the ticket booth.
Buses/Trams
Toronto’s buses and streetcars are very well distributed. There are stop signs with red fonts on the bus stops, which are very obvious. Just like the subway, you put money in first when you get on the train. If you need to change trains, you must inform the driver first and get the exchange ticket. Just ring the bell when you get off the bus, but be aware that the name of the next stop will not be broadcast on the bus, so you must pay close attention. For streetcars, you just need to pay attention to the route along the way, and the coin operation method is roughly the same as that of buses. Special Service Wheelchair Service - For those with mobility impairments, the TTC provides wheelchair services, and there are also dedicated elevators in the stations for use. Community shuttle services are also provided to provide convenience for the elderly or disabled people, and the fare is the same as the general TTC. Detailed routes, station names, transfer regulations, connections to other transportation systems, and more are included in a Ride the Rocker map published by the TTC, which you can find at the ticket booths at the entrance/exit of each station. Ask the salesperson for it, it's completely free.
Medium and long-distance buses
Medium- and long-distance buses connecting Toronto with other cities generally run at the Toronto Long-Distance Bus Terminal. The current location of the bus terminal is at the intersection of Bay Street and Dundas Street. The information desk at the long-distance bus terminal provides consultation on bus routes, train numbers, fares, boarding locations, etc.
Main bus company: Greyhound Lines of Canada, with routes covering the whole country, and also cooperates with American companies to provide joint services.
Taxi
Car rental services are available at international airports, train stations and many communities. The minimum age allowed to rent a car is between 21 and 25, and a credit card is usually required when renting a car. Taxis (taxi or cab, sometimes also called taxicab) can be seen everywhere on the streets of Toronto, and they will stop when you wave. Taxi ranks are usually located outside shopping malls, large office buildings and hotels, as well as next to train stations and bus stops. There are many taxi companies in Toronto. Each car rental company charges different prices and also offers promotional discounts on car rentals from time to time. Car renters may wish to make a few more calls to check the car rental rates of different companies. The company list is listed in the Taxi Cabs column of the Yellow Pages phone book. Passengers can call the number in the Yellow Pages to call a taxi or make an appointment in advance. The taxi will wait at the agreed time and location. . Taxis charge based on mileage. If you find that there is no meter in the car, you may refuse to take the taxi. The starting fare for taxis in Toronto is RMB 2.50, covering a distance of 250 meters, and an additional 2.5 cents will be added for each subsequent 250 meters. If you need to wait for someone or due to traffic jams, and the driving speed is lower than 20 kilometers per hour, 2 cents and 5 minutes will be charged every 50 seconds. The fare is the same 24 hours a day. When paying, in addition to the fee shown on the meter, a tip of 10%-15% is required.

Driver’s license knowledge
If you study in Ontario, you can drive in Ontario with a valid driver’s license from another country or province within three months after landing. If you still want to continue driving after more than three months, you need an international driver's license or an Ontario driver's license. If you already have a valid domestic driver's license and have more than two years of driving experience, you can immediately apply for the official G driver's license road test (the high-speed test is relatively difficult) after passing the theoretical test. If you fail, you can directly apply for G2 from G1. Take your road test without having to wait a long time. If you have held a Chinese driver's license for more than one year but less than two years, you can directly apply for the G2 driver's license road test. If your non-Canadian driving experience is less than one year, you must meet the driving internship period specified by Ontario for G1 drivers before you can apply for the road test.
