One of the first things you’ll need to figure out in Canada is how to get from point A to point B! Whether you’re in a big city like Toronto or Vancouver, or a smaller town, transportation is key. This discussion is all about navigating public transit and understanding driving rules.
We can chat about:
- Public transportation systems: Buses, subways (metros), streetcars, and commuter trains. How do they work in different cities?
- Buying tickets and passes: Presto, Compass Card, monthly passes – what’s the most cost-effective option for you?
- Using apps for schedules and real-time tracking (e.g., Google Maps, Citymapper).
- Getting a Canadian driver’s license: The process, bringing over your international license, and what to expect.
- Canadian road rules: Important differences you might encounter, especially with winter driving or specific traffic signs.
- Car insurance and buying a vehicle: What you need to know before you get behind the wheel.
