Let's see, what to do ... what to do....
I found the Toronto Official City Website . Impressive, until you start calling for services. First link to choose from - how do we get anywhere? - Public Transit. Being ex-Manhattanites, we don't have cars. We hear some Torontoans living in the city are as well: car-less. We've used ZipCar in NYC and are loyalty card carrying members of Dollar and Hertz. Just saw AutoShare having competitive rates with Zipcar and they're two blocks from where we live so that's an option. So I go to my nearest subway station (Wellesley) and asked how much would it cost me to go to Ikea North York and how exactly do I exactly get there? The nice lady's answer? Look at the website. Apparently since they've worked so hard to get the website as complete as possible, how dare I ask a stupid question!
So we've memorized the subway system in one day ... considering we've lived in such a convoluted network of railways, Toronto 4 subway lines are a breeze. I like that they are on time (at least the time we've used it).
Now if only we have HopStop in Toronto then I won't have to ask any stupid questions and the nice person at the counter can continue having her Timbits.
