  • The Toronto subway and RT is the main rapid transit (RT) railway system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). Since the original line following Yonge Street opened in 1954, the network has expanded to become Canada's longest rapid transit rail network, encompassing four lines and 69 stations on 68.3 kilometres (42.7 miles) of track; this includes the RT's 6 stations with 6.4 kilometres (4.2 miles) of track. The subway system is a very popular mode of public transport in Toronto and the largest in Canada in terms of passenger usage, with an average of 1,186,050 passenger trips each weekday (as of 2005-2006). The TTC sometimes uses the term "rapid transit" internally to describe all four lines, but in general public usage there is no collective term. They are called the three "subway" lines and "the (Scarborough) RT". A current focus for the TTC's rapid transit expansion is an extension bringing the western branch of the Yonge-University-Spadina Line northward to York University, Steeles Avenue, and Vaughan Corporate Centre in York Region. The Government of Ontario announced on March 23, 2006 that it will provide $670 million for this extension, about one-third of the expected cost. If built, the extension would be approximately 6.2 km long and would likely be built with six new stations: Sheppard West, Finch West, York University, Steeles West, Highway 407 Transitway and Vaughan Corporate Centre. It is expected to cost approximately $2 billion. An environmental assessment has been completed to Steeles Avenue.
