I hear that might possibly change though. I think the Montréal Métro is much better. Quieter, smoother, and goes more places. Toronto's system is more of a glorified commuter train. And don't even get me started on those TTC workers who run it...

Toronto rocks. 13 years before Montreal. they're getting a big infusion of cash from the provincial government for new subway and streetcar lines too. You should see the new subway cars they've ordered. Even better than DC.
