It's a subway, eh? Hey Hoser! Canada has a great variety of fixed guideway transit. From streetcars and automated light rail in Toronto, rubber-tired heavy rail in Montreal, diesel light rail in Ottawa, and an automated mini-subway in Vancouver, the GWN will keep the most demanding transit fans entertained. For all those who are interested in what used to be, check out the All Time List of Canadian Transport Systems. Proposals, but not plans, for light rail have been made for Halifax, Quebec City and Winnipeg. A monorail system has been proposed for Grand River, Ontario. Though a 23 mile subway was once authorized for Winnipeg, its current mayor is aggressively marketing an LRT which may have subway components. Regina, Saskatchewan mentions an Albert Street subway, but it's probably a pedestrian subway. Other links mention a 23rd street subway and the 19th street subway. In Calgary there is an 8th, 4th and 5th street subway. These are pedestrian passages under major rail lines.
