Whether you’re in a big city or a smaller town, knowing how to get around is key to settling in. This thread is dedicated to all things transportation in Canada. Let’s discuss public transit systems – how to buy tickets/passes, understanding routes, and local etiquette. For those considering driving, we can share experiences about getting a Canadian driver’s license, understanding road rules, and buying a car (or car-sharing options).
Each major city has its own transit authority, e.g., Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) (https://www.ttc.ca/), TransLink in Vancouver (https://www.translink.ca/), or Société de transport de Montréal (STM) (https://www.stm.info/).
For driver’s licensing information, check your provincial government’s Ministry of Transportation website (e.g., https://www.ontario.ca/page/get-g-drivers-licence for Ontario).
