The best way to get around Toronto is by public transportation. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) runs three modes ? subway, streetcar and bus ? throughout the city and suburbs. You will need a token or a pass to travel on TTC; day and week passes allow unlimited rides on all three forms of public transport.

Single rides on all TTC transit costs CA$3.35 (roughly $2.60), but purchasing a day- or a week-long pass is a good idea if you're planning to rely on public transportation for more than just the occasional ride. Day passes cost CA$13.50 (less than $11).
