HOW TO USE THE TTC IN
TORONTO
The following example will
illustrate how to use the TTC in Toronto:
- Suppose
that you have to go from point A (Victoria Park/Finch) to point B
(Exhibition Place). In order to arrive to this point B you will have to
do the following:
 
NOTE: These information charts for the public
can be found in each TTC stop. They are not maps and they
are not drawn according to a scale.
-
Take
a bus in Finch bus stop (routes #39A, B, C, D, E o F) with
Victoria Park and it will take you to the subway station in Finch (yellow
line, first station to the East). You should pay the right price
and deposit $2,75 (2006-2007) in the case of the bus (drivers do not
handle money). Buses only stop and pick up passengers
in the indicated stops.
-
In
Finch station walk from the buses parking (within the station) to
the underground station to take the train towards the south. There
get on the subway (yellow line) to Toronto downtown, where
you will travel all over different stations up to Bathurts station.
-
Get
off the train in Bathurts station and walk to the street cars
parking within the station. Do not go out from the
station to the street, if you do it, you will have to pay the
entrance to the station again. In the parking take the street car
#511 Exhibition – South, which will take you to Bathurst Street
in the south direction.
-
In
this way you will arrive to the indicated place: Exhibition Place
Note: In order to arrive earlier you can also get off in
Yonge/Bloor station and take the subway to the west (green line) up to
Bathurst station.

IMPORTANT
There is a great difference
between the public transportation in Canada (sometimes just
used by a small part of the population) and many countries,
where it is used by most people. Study thoroughly the
organisation of the local transportation system, schedule,
itineraries, routes, etc. to learn to use it correctly and
arrive in time when necessary. Check the itineraries you can
take in your area, and make sure there will be available
transportation at the time you need it. Buses, for example,
which will take you to industrial areas where you will most
probably have job interviews, may just work in the first
hours in the morning and then a couple of hours in the
afternoon. If you make an appointment for a job interview in
a distant place at a different time and have no other means
of transportation, it will very difficult for you to get to
the place and then lose your job opportunity. Besides, check
if you should pay any additional charges for the area you
have to go to (which applies in Toronto if you go to the
North of Steeles). |
