Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Subways, Buses, and Streetcars:

The TTC connects all areas of the city, including major hubs like Union Station, where FlixBus has a stop. The subway system is straightforward and runs frequently, making it a quick and efficient way to get around. Buses and streetcars supplement the subway, ensuring that even the more remote parts of Toronto are within easy reach. 

For a hassle-free experience using public transit, consider obtaining a PRESTO card—a reloadable payment card that simplifies fare payments across the TTC, GO Transit, UP Express, and eight other transit agencies in Ontario.

If you prefer a more direct and comfortable ride, Toronto offers several taxi services, including Co-Op Cabs, that can take you directly to your destination. Taxis in Toronto operate with standard, metered fares that are fixed and non-negotiable. The driver starts the meter when your ride begins and stops it upon arrival. A tip of 10 to 15% is typically expected for satisfactory service. 

Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are also readily available throughout Toronto, offering a convenient and often more affordable alternative to taxis. You can easily arrange a ride through their apps, and while tipping your driver is appreciated, it’s not required.
