The City of Toronto was once an international leader in public transit. TTC was one of the first operators to integrate buses, streetcars, and a subway across a metropolitan area. From 1954 to around 1980, strict planning controls encouraged high-density development along the subway, and along major arterial routes with good bus services.
Mar 23, 2019 · In 1963, with the arrival of the University line, Toronto's first subway expansion, the map was altered and the famous U-shape was born, making St. George briefly a terminal station.
The Reddit user shared the map online earlier this week, stating that it took two weeks to complete and was inspired by the book 50 Years of Progressive Transit.

In 1974, the CBC reported that the province had purchased an "unproven" system using elevated tracks that would chart transit routes along existing railways and hydro rights-of-way. They would spend $750 million on a 56-mile network comprising five routes, three of which would "terminate in Metro centre," with the other two being crosstown routes. ...
Eight years later, the Progressive Conservatives were still the government in power and reporter Robert Fisher described traffic congestion as a "major problem" that the province was ready to confront. To that end, Transportation Minister Jim Snow presented a roomful of municipal leaders with a regional transit plan on a map almost as tall as he wa...
After governing the province for 42 years, the Progressive Conservatives were out, and it may have seemed like a good opportunity for Toronto to get the funding it needed for transit. That same month, a municipal committee reviewed a report called Network 2011 that envisioned what transit would look like in that then-faraway year. It would build a ...
A year and a half later, Network 2011 had been refined, as reported by Lois Warren. First would come the Sheppard subway line extending from Yonge Street to the Scarborough Town Centre. (This line did open, in 2002, but did not go to Scarborough.) "To take pressure off the Yonge-Bloor intersection," the line from Pape station to Union Station was n...
Aside from being annoying for drivers who probably figured everyone else could take transit, traffic congestion had another effect: pollution. "Every additional passenger on a subway, bus or GO train represents one more small step in a battle won in the fight to preserve the plant," said Premier David Peterson as he announced the next transit plan ...
Premier Bob Rae brought out a throng of helmet-wearing construction workers to announce the NDP's "exciting" $1.5-billion transit plan for Toronto in 1993. Rather than showing off any new plans, Rae pledged to "speed up" previously announced projects, said reporter Colleen McEdwards. That included an extension all the way to York University which h...
David Miller had been elected twice as Toronto's mayor, and Dalton McGuinty had accomplished the same as the Liberal premier of Ontario when they got together to announce full provincial funding for a plan, developed by the city, called Transit City. The plan relied less on subways and more on rapid transit on major east-west routes like Finch and ...
