Toronto's primary public transportation system is operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).<ref name="autogenerated1" /> The backbone of its public transport network is the [[Toronto subway]] system, which includes three heavy-rail rapid transit lines spanning the city, including the U-shaped [[Line 1 Yonge–University|Line 1]], east–west [[Line 2 Bloor–Danforth|Line 2]], and the short east–west [[Line 4 Sheppard|Line 4]] with Line 1 extending as far beyond city limits as [[Vaughan Metropolitan Centre]].

The TTC also operates an extensive network of [[Toronto Transit Commission bus system|buses]] and [[Toronto streetcar system|streetcars]], with the latter serving the downtown core and buses serving many parts of the city not served by the sparse subway network. TTC buses and streetcars use the same fare system as the subway, and many subway stations offer a fare-paid area for transfers between rail and surface vehicles.

There have been numerous plans to extend the subway and implement light-rail lines, but budgetary concerns have thwarted many efforts. By November 2011, construction on [[Line 5 Eglinton]] began. Line 5 is scheduled to finish construction by 2024.<ref name="CityNews-2023-05-16">{{Cite web |first=Michael |last=Ranger |url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/05/16/eglinton-crosstown-metrolinx-ttc-crosslinx/ |title=Eglinton Crosstown won't open until 2024, construction group to take legal action: Metrolinx |website=CityNews |date=May 16, 2023 |access-date=May 16, 2023 |archive-date=May 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230516163903/https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/05/16/eglinton-crosstown-metrolinx-ttc-crosslinx/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2015, the Ontario government promised to fund [[Line 6 Finch West]], which is to be completed by 2024.
