For many metropolises around the world, the subway system acts as the arteries, carrying hundreds of people across the city every minute.
While the Toronto Transit Commission’s subway lines aren’t the same spaghetti-like maze of London’s underground or New York City’s MTA, they play a vital role in moving us to and from the downtown core. For any prospective downtown Toronto dweller, proximity to a TTC subway station is a hot-ticket item.
If you’re one of the thousands of daily TTC subway riders, these future new construction condo projects might provide you with the transportation accessibility you’re hoping for.
