Toronto and public transportThe Toronto Transit Commission(TTC) is the quick, convenient and safe way to get you around Toronto. SubwayThe backbone of the TTC is a basic subway system with two main lines, the U-shaped Yonge-University-Spadina Line and the east-west Bloor-Danforth Line, running along principal streets and connecting Toronto's outlying areas with its downtown core. Each line also connects to a secondary feeder near one of its outer ends: the Sheppard subway line in the north and the Scarborough RT in the east, making it the most extensive rapid transit system in Canada despite the fact that the four lines provide a very limited coverage of the city.Bus and streetcarThe rest of the city is primarily served by a network of about 150 bus routes, many of them forming a grid along main streets, and all of them (except for the #99 and #171 routes) connecting to one or more subway or RT stations. A more distinctive feature of the TTC is the streetcar system, one of the few remaining in North America with a substantial amount of in-street operation. The city of Toronto has the second largest streetcar system in the world behind Melbourne, Australia. Most of the 11 streetcar routes are concentrated in the downtown core, and all connect to the subway.Downtown to the Ricoh ColiseumGO TransitTake the East-West Lakeshore GO Train to the Exhibition station, one stop west of Union Station.
