Toronto subway
The Toronto subway is a rapid transit system serving Toronto and the neighbouring city of Vaughan in Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). The subway system is a rail network consisting of three heavy-capacity rail lines operating predominantly underground. As of December 2024,[update] three new lines are under construction: two light rail lines (one running mostly underground, the other running mostly at-grade) and one heavy rail line (running both underground and on elevated guideways).
In 1954, the TTC opened Canada's first underground rail line, then known as the "Yonge subway", under Yonge Street between Union Station and Eglinton Avenue with 12 stations. As of 2024,[update] the network encompasses 70 stations and 70.1 kilometres (43.6 mi) of route. In 2024, the system had a ridership of 331,789,000, or about 1,101,700 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2025, making it the busiest rapid transit system in Canada in terms of daily ridership. There are 60 stations under construction as part of three new lines, two light rail lines and one subway line, and two extensions to existing lines.
Toronto subway lines are known by both a number and a name. While each line is also assigned a colour, the colours are only used to visually distinguish between them on maps and signage, not as names.
There are three operating rapid transit lines in Toronto:
Three additional lines are also under construction:
Line 1 Yonge–University is the longest and busiest rapid transit line in the system. It opened as the Yonge subway in 1954 with a length of 7.4 kilometres (4.6 mi) and since then has grown to a length of 38.8 kilometres (24.1 mi). The modern line is U-shaped, having two northern terminals – at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Finch – and its southern end at Union station in downtown Toronto.
Line 2 Bloor–Danforth, opened in 1966, runs parallel to Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue between Kipling station in Etobicoke and Kennedy station in Scarborough. Construction started in 2021 on a three-stop extension of Line 2 northeastward from Kennedy station to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan via Scarborough City Centre.
Line 4 Sheppard opened in 2002 running eastwards under Sheppard Avenue East from Sheppard–Yonge station on Line 1 to Don Mills station; it is the shortest rapid transit line in Toronto at a length of 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) and the only one without any open sections.
