Introduction to Toronto Metro

The Toronto Subway is the rapid transit system serving Toronto, Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It consists of four operational lines (Line 1 Yonge–University, Line 2 Bloor–Danforth, Line 3 Scarborough, and Line 4 Sheppard) with additional lines under construction. The system began operation in 1954, making it Canada's first subway system. As of 2023, the operational network spans approximately 76.9 kilometers with 75 stations and serves about 1.7 million passengers daily.

Passenger Volume Data:
- In 2023, the annual passenger volume of the Toronto metro system was 39.63 million, with a weekday daily average of about 1.1 million.
- Line 1 is the busiest line, accounting for approximately 45% of the system’s passenger volume, with peak interval as short as 2 minutes.
- Line 2, as the main east-west line, accounts for about 36% of the passenger volume, with weekday daily passenger volume of 404,000 in 2022.
- Line 4, due to its short length, has relatively low passenger volume, but still had a weekday daily average of 39,000 in 2022.
