| - Public transit in Toronto is run by the TTC, or Toronto Transit Commission. It includes three subway lines and a rapid transit route, eleven streetcar lines, and over a hundred bus routes. Subway trains did not appear in any episode of Forever Knight; streetcars were commonly seen in location shots; and buses featured in several episodes, most prominently "Fatal Mistake" and "Blind Faith".
- Public transit, public transportation, public transport or mass transit comprises all transportation systems in which the passengers do not travel in their own vehicles. While it is generally taken to include rail and bus services, wider definitions would include scheduled airline services, ferries, taxicab services etc. — any system that transports members of the general public. A further restriction that is sometimes applied is that it should take place in shared vehicles, which would exclude taxis that are not shared-ride taxis.

The term public transportation, public transit or mass transit are usually used in North America, whereas public transport is preferred in the British Isles and most Commonwealth countries. The term transit is less likely to include long-distance forms of public transportation, such as long-distance or commuter railroads, inter-city buses, or intercity railways. Public transit is usually regulated as a common carrier and is usually configured to provide scheduled service on fixed routes on a non-reservation basis. The majority of transit passengers are traveling within a local area or region between their homes and places of employment, shopping, or schools.
