The public transportation network takes you almost everywhere. The city has a subway (75 stations on 4 lines) and an extensive network of buses and streetcars. While there is no night service for the metro and buses, most streetcars operate 24 hours a day. Maps of the lines (usually also available in hotels and public places) and timetables can be found in all metro stations.

Bike Share Toronto, a public bike share system, is available in several areas of the city. It allows you to borrow one of 7,185 bikes at one of 630 stations installed year-round, whether it's for a few hours, for the day or even for three days. On the web or via the app, you can see where the available bikes are. It is extremely beneficial for people making short trips every time. If you want to have a bike for your leisure time, we advise you to deal with a rental company.

Want to ride around town or along the Niagara River without too much effort? Just go to Park Street to pick up your electric bike and you're done! The rental includes all the equipment as well as a little training. However, it is important to note that you must be at least 16 years old to rent a bike. Good deal: if you book online at least two days in advance, you will get three hours at the basic rate instead of two. Ask about the guided tour (3 hours, min. 2 people).

Go Transit is an inter-regional bus and train company serving the Greater Toronto Area and as far east as Oshawa and Peterborough, south to Hamilton and Niagara Falls, west to Kitchener-Waterloo, and north to the Lake Simcoe area. Fares are often cheaper than with bus companies such as Megabus, but the trip is longer due to the many stops and possible transfers. Be aware that there is a customer service center at Union Station (open from 5:45 a.m. to 12:45 a.m., starting at 6 a.m. on weekends).

Located on the Harbourfront, next to the bike paths, this specialized company rents hybrid bikes but also family bikes (two places for children + one place for adults) and electric bikes. Rentals are by the hour ($15 CDN, plus $5 CDN per additional hour), for 24 hours ($40 CDN) and for two days ($70 CDN - $20 CDN per additional day) - more expensive for the family bike and the electric bike. Helmets are provided free of charge, but if you wish to have a lock, you must pay $5 CAN.
