    This map does not include any of the street cars, any of the light rail, any bus routes, any of the linked transit like the GO system trains or buses, it’s literally just the the underground subway only. Which if that’s what you want to compare is fine, but that’s not what the title says. The title clearly indicates transit system, which should include most of that.

    A good transit system needs a mix of above and below ground. Toronto used to have an massively extensive streetcar system that even went as far north as Lake Simcoe . Which has been dismantled and gutted over the years in favour of cars. That’s part of why they built the subway in Toronto in the first place, to get rid of the street car network and make more room for cars.
