Toronto

Full Metro, LRT and Advanced Rapid Transit

Toronto is known for having one of , if not the most, clean and efficient subway lines in North America.
Opened in 1954, it consists of 4 lines, 69.9 km, and 71 stations. Of that, 6.5 km and 6 stations are on the above ground Scarborough Advanced Light Rapid Transit line, which in the near future will be converted to light rail and extended. 51.4 km of the subway system is below ground.

New Subway Train Artist Conception

2008 the TTC decided to engage in a massive light rail expansion programt., probably due to the fact that their excursions into the subway world had proved incompetent and expensive. The project, known as Transit City, will include 7 new light rail lines and 126 km of new track, at least one of which will include an underground section..:

In Toronto's York region, a program known as VivaNext is admiinistering the construction of two subway extensions totaling 15.5 km, and two new light rail lines. The 8.7 km Spadina subway extension is expected to open in 2015.

Metrolinx is the agency that will interfere - I mean integrate - many of the services and projects administered by TTC and VivaNext.


Toronto's streetcars operate on
11 routes,
3 of which operate in a central city subway.
