Evolution of the Toronto Subway

A virtual time-lapse of the Toronto Subway.

The placement of stations, tracks, and addresses are approximate and may not accurately represent where they are in real life.

The addresses underneath the station names were taken from a variety of old TTC maps and banners, and may not match the addresses found on the TTC website. I wanted the addresses to match the streets the subways were located on. (ex. Yonge Street addresses for the Yonge Subway). For Lines 5 and 6, the addresses used are of nearby buildings.

The Toronto Transit Commission is the City of Toronto’s public transit provider. Metrolinx is a Crown agency responsible for integrating transit in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Visit ttc.ca or metrolinx.ca for more up-to-date information on transit in Toronto.

Special thanks to Mr. Ian Dickson of the TTC for providing me access to the Bloor-Yonge font.
