Kennedy Station isn't exactly a destination...but if you're using Toronto's public transit,…read moreespecially heading east, or from the east, chances are you'll end up here. It's a major TTC hub that connects subway, GO Transit, and multiple bus routes. Not much to do here, and definitely not a place to hang out, but it works for what it is. There's a small convenience kiosk (outside the fare zone), so you can grab a snack, drink, or a magazine if needed. I hadn't been here in years, and when I approached a TTC employee to buy a day pass, she came off a little sharp at first. But once I explained I was unfamiliar with the updated system, she softened and was super helpful in getting me on my way. That made a difference. So, do I recommend it? Only in the sense that if it's part of your route, it'll get the job done. It's not fancy, but it's functional...and helpful people can make even a gritty station feel okay.

A couple of Saturdays ago, I revisited Victoria Park subway station for the first time in eons. I…read morelived in the Beaches growing up. I'd often hit this station and walk over to Shoppers World and Fabricland, a store on the Danforth, across from this mall. Fabricland isn't there anymore. I was quite the crafty kid. I loved going there to get supplies. I made everything from an embroidered pencil case, to a mural for a Chinese school competition that I managed to win. Good times! I liked when we were dismissed from high school earlier. After school, I'd take the Main 64 bus to Main Street subway and take the train eastbound to Victoria Park. I would then hang out at the mall or Fabricland, or both. Marks and Spencer. Coles. Eaton's. Zellers. Those were the stores that I frequented the most at Shoppers World. All of them are long gone. This subway station is small, but it has everything that you need. It has trains that run along the Bloor-Danforth line (line 2). Naturally, when I got to the station, there was a trespasser at one of the stations west of it, so trains went as far as Woodbine heading westbound. With my luck, this incident was cleared and I was able to get to Chester station without transferring to a shuttle bus. I rarely took any buses out of this station. The main one heading north-south is Victoria Park 24. It actually goes north of Steeles Avenue these days. It's cheaper paying with a Presto card to ride the TTC. You save a nickel on adult fare than if you paid with a credit card or cash. It may seem like nothing, but it does add up over time. I tapped and walked through the entrance. I then walked down a bunch of stairs to catch my train. I find Presto efficient. I kind of miss TTC tokens and tickets for nostalgic reasons only. Parking is free on weekends and holidays. The parking lot is Green P, so you can use the app to pay for parking on a weekday. The parking lot is small, but I managed to find a parking spot for small vehicles. I was happy. I saw a convenience stall where you can buy candy, drinks, a newspaper, and more in the station. It felt like old times. Same goes for the payphone in front of the station's entrance. I liked returning to this station. It brought back a lot of memories and created new ones. (472)

Yelp Review 2023 #74:…read more Whenever I'm in Toronto, I rely on trams aka streetcars to get around using my Presto card. I normally stay at hotels along or near Queen Street because they are more accessible. 501 streetcar runs during the day and is the longest tram line. It runs east and west of Toronto. From Neville Park to Dufferin which is over 20km. If I want to go to lululemon, it's a quick streetcar ride. The City Hall is along Queen Street. You can also get to Eaton Center using 501 streetcar. If you're a fan of the show Kim's Convenience, just get off Sherbourne. The times I've used the 501, I've not really experienced any riff raff. Except for when I went to Kim's Convenience. I didn't know it was in a bad neighborhood and people were openly talking about drugs and they're dealing in broad daylight as I was waiting for a streetcar to go back to my hotel and it was 10 minutes delayed and I had to tell myself I'll be fine. And then the streetcar was delayed another 5 minutes. I can see how a visitor's experience might be different from a local's experience because visitors aren't here long enough to know how it really is. I did notice that in the winter, homeless people ride the tram and go up and down, or left to right on trams for hours just to stay warm. If I were homeless, I'd probably do the same thing too. I don't blame them. A problem in Toronto that seems more obvious in the winter than when I went in the summer.

Out of all the TTC routes, the 501 Queen route is closest to my heart. I grew up in the Beaches and…read morelived on Queen Street East. There was a streetcar stop right in front of the apartment building where I grew up, heading eastbound, at Scarborough Beach Boulevard. Recently, I drove by and noticed that this streetcar stop is no longer there. It has moved a block east to Glen Manor Drive. It's a bit sad to see a stop that has been there for decades move. I could start a petition, but will likely not get the results that I want. Going westbound, I had the option of either boarding at Glen Manor or Wineva. I always did the latter because there were a set of traffic lights and it was safer to cross. The 501 route is one of the longest that the TTC offers. I know the eastern part better. The Neville Loop is where the streetcar turns around. The loop is a few steps away from Scarborough and the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant. It's actually a beautiful area with a nice park and Lake Ontario as its backdrop. It opens up once a year, so you can do a tour inside. On the other end of this route is Long Branch. i have recently spent some time in this area, as two of my favourite empanada and ice cream places are on that end of the spectrum. I dig it. Tourist or not, I used to enjoy plopping myself on the streetcar and cutting through the city. You go through a series of cool neighbourhoods, such as Leslieville, downtown Toronto (Eaton Centre, Old City Hall, and Nathan Phillips Square are all viewable from the streetcar if you do not have time to drop by), Parkdale, and more. A number of cool parks are also along the way. High Park, Trinity Bellwoods Park, and Humber Bay Park are just a few. I am biased and love seeing Kew Gardens, because I will always be a Beacher at heart. I have been on this route countless times. I used this route to commute to my summer jobs at the Ex and resting my tired feet after standing all day. Heading to Chinese school, both at the Spadina and Broadview Chinatowns, required taking this streetcar and transferring to another streetcar or bus. Going downtown? I'd take this streetcar to Yonge Street and walk around like the teenager that I was. I haven't taken the TTC for several years. It's what happens when I live in the suburbs and use a car to get around. I hope to board one of the newer streetcars as a passenger someday. As of late, I am either admiring them while waiting for the traffic light to turn or I'm trying to drive past one. Service had its hits and misses. When things were running smoothly, it was a treat taking the streetcar along Queen Street East and West. When it was bad, I'd be waiting for the third or fourth streetcar to come along so I could actually board it without feeling like a suffocating sardine. I do like this route and now I'm all nostalgic. It was nice to see the streetcars on this route in action when I was recently in Leslieville and the streetcar tracks along Queen Street East again.

Highly recommended. April 2026…read more OK, let's acknowledge that I love trams (like subways). We took the tram every day during our week-long visit. Modern, Comfortable. Stops are clearly marked on the streets and clearly announced in the car. Easy to pay with iPhone or Apple Watch. The routes cover the central city very well. The cost is reasonable at $3.30 CAD for 3 hours.

Whenever we are in large urban cities, we try to use public transportation as much as we can…read more The TTC in Toronto is a network of subways, buses and trams that connect the city in many different directions. We used the subway a few times, as well as the buses and a few trams. The easiest thing is that you can pay your fare just by tapping any of your credit cards on the scanner. No need to buy a transit card. It was about US$2.45 per ride and any transfers within two hours of the first tap are free. Easy !!!!

If we're talking about commuter experience, GO Transit is miles (or in this case, kilometers)…read morebetter than TTC. Cleaner, less frequent delays, well displayed departure times and more spacious seating. It pretty much operates on an honour system with the occasional fare inspector check here and there in the mornings. It's funny cuz you can usually spot the fare evaders fast walking away from them up and down the train. I do think they could improve it by having more digital signage throughout the trains indicating the stops. At the moment of this review, they STILL only announce train stops via the loudspeaker and depending on the train cabin you're in, the speakers might be muffled or not very clear. As far as payment methods go, I would say using PRESTO card as the preferred method is not so clear cut anymore. The only benefit PRESTO card provides is the ability to set default trips between two GO stops. So if you're a frequent commuter and you always get on and off at the same two stops for work for example, then using PRESTO is convenient. Otherwise, if you're always getting on and off at different stops there's literally no difference between using PRESTO and NFC credit card tapping w/ your phone.

When traveling from Niagara Falls to Toronto, our friend recommended taking the train rather than…read moredriving. He earned traffic would be bad, and parking would be expensive. So at his advice we drove about half way to the Oakville station which has trains coming and going every 30 minutes. It was easy to get to, right off the highway, and plenty of parking. To make things a little sweeter parking was even free!!! We grabbed our bags and made our way over to the station. With user friendly kiosks it was easy to buy a ticket to Toronto, and only $9 each way...a great value, especially when you add in free parking! The train was decently clean for public transportation, plenty of space, and even had wifi. There was apparently a bar car with food and drink available for sale, but we didn't look. I'd absolutely use the Go Transit again, and would recommend to friends. It's hassle free, reasonably priced and free parking.

It's a really good route cause it lets you get from the east end all the way through downtown and even a bit into the west end now. It's pretty much the 501 and 504 combined into one route. Only downside is this route often either gets delayed badly or gets converted to buses when there is construction which sucks.
