Toronto transit tour, plus some general urbanism

[dewE]

Toronto's Subways haven't kept up as far as expansion of lines go over the years. It has been a constant battle with City Councillors (as to subways or light rail options). Probably made worse with the amalgamation of the city. With that said transit has definitely improved over the last decade and the Union Pearson express was a big welcome for me (although they charge $12.50 one way). I use the Go-Trains a lot and they are getting more expensive also. Montreal has a bigger and better subway system and the bike lanes look better. New York subways system is extensive and huge, but I found it a bit confusing and really had to pay attention as to which train to get on. Toronto's subway system is pretty straight forward and easy to learn.
