Yonge subway: Toronto’s first subway line, opened in 1954 between Union and Eglinton stations. Its opening established the city’s rapid-transit network.
GO Transit: Ontario’s regional public-transit network, centered on commuter rail and bus services. Its stations connect suburban and regional journeys with the subway.
Montreal Metro: Montreal’s rubber-tired rapid-transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal. Its rubber-tired trains and station architecture contrast with Toronto’s conventional steel-wheel subway.
Line 2 Bloor–Danforth: Toronto subway line running east–west between Kipling and Kennedy stations. It crosses Line 1 at two major transfer stations.
Automatic train control: A system that uses computerized signaling to regulate train movements and maintain safe separation. It enables closer train spacing on parts of Line 1.
Toronto subway history: The development of Toronto’s rapid-transit network from its first line to later expansions. Its chronology traces how a single route became a multi-line system.
Toronto streetcar system: A network of streetcar routes serving Toronto’s central and inner-city neighbourhoods. Streetcars feed subway stations and serve corridors without rapid transit.
Vancouver SkyTrain: Vancouver’s automated rapid-transit network, built primarily on elevated and underground guideways. Its driverless operation contrasts with Toronto’s traditionally crew-operated subway service.
