The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) runs a few subway lines and many bus and streetcar routes throughout the city.

Line 1 runs north/south along Young Street which bisects the city into East and West and many streets are named accordingly. For example, St Clair Avenue is St Clair West on one side of Yonge Street and St Clair East on the other. Line 1 runs for 38 kilometres with 38 stations.

Line 2 runs east/west along Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue covering 26 kilometres and 31 stations.

Shorter lines make up the rest of the system and get people from city suburbs onto the main lines.

A few weeks back I took the subway west on line 2 to Keele then walked back in the cold taking a few pictures of subway stations that I passed. I like the otherworldly white light they give off at night. They look like portals to another dimension. Lansdowne is my favourite.

As I collect more interesting TTC photos, I will post them here…
