I m confused with public transport system here in Toronto. Can anyone clear my doubts?
1) Is TTC,Mississauga transit, Go etc. r diff. company?
2) cant one common pass or transfer useful on every network?
3) Is there any single map showing all network?
4) what is the best way to go to scarborough city centre from square one shopping mall?
5) in mississauga network there is click n ride option to plan the journey. is there available on other network or is there anything common system to use all network?
thank u in advance.
To give you an overview of the transport let me tell you the diffrent transits
1.TTC-This is the major transit consisting of Buses and subways,this network extends from Kipling in the west till Scarborough in the east and is the biggest network of GTA
2.Mississauga Transit-This is for Mississauga area which is from Islington in the East of Mississauga till Erin Mills further West of Mississauga and in North till Brampton and south till lakeshore
3.Brampton and York region transit for the respective regions in the North
4.GO transit is a diffrent transit and it operates throughout ONTARIO,its not that convinient,its good for ppl who travel from particular place to particular place and timings are also not convinient
There is a PASS called GTA weekly pass(no monthly option availble..these ppl r big m**F and want to exploit ppl) which covers all the transits except the go and you can do unlimited ride on any of the other transits for a week.The cost is 47$ per week.
No single map available showing all the tranist
The best way to go from Scarborough town centre to Mississauga Square one would be
Catch Scarborough rail transit,come to kennedy,catch a subway west bound to islington(1 stop before the last stop which is kipling).From Islington Subway catch one of the following buses 3,26,20,76.If you buy ticket at everyplace instead of PASS/TOKENS then it should cost you $2.75+$3=$5.75 one way.
Hope it clears all your doubt

All are different transits , Mississauga transit and Brampton transit have some arrangement with GO , i.e if u are taking go trains then u can take connecting Brampton or missisuaga transit busses at 50cents. but this is only at the go train stop , it does not apply for go bus connections or TTC.
Mississauga transit and Brampton transit give transfers without charge between each other.

no commom system.. they all have their own websites and phone nos u can call to plan a trip..
Thank u everyone for your replies.
I realize its not user friendly at all. If u r going on same route everyday then its fine... but to explore GTA in public transport is a challenge.
would like to extend my voluntary efforts to unite all of them.

I believe Islington is a better choice, unless the things have changed
