Toronto has an extensive public transport system run by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) with a large subway system, numerous buses, and street cars available to take travelers from their Toronto flight to the city. A single fare can take you anywhere in the city and you can transfer between subway, streetcar, and bus if you make sure to get a transfer (a slip of paper) when you first pay your fare. You need exact fare on buses and streetcars and TTC day passes are also available.

Go Transit is Ontario’s inter-regional bus and train service. It links Toronto with outlying areas of the Greater Toronto Area. GO Trains and buses depart from Toronto’s Union Station on a frequent schedule throughout the day.
