If you read The Toronto Traveler on a regular basis, then chances are you’ve seen me refer to the city’s subway system more than a few times. Toronto is one of those cities that would not be the same without its subway system. Besides allowing hundreds of thousands of people the chance to get to work every day, the subway and the larger public transit network within Toronto and the surrounding area is absolutely essential for tourism in the city. This is why I include information about subway stations in all of my event postings, because I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of people that read this blog use that method of transportation as their primary means of getting around the city (I know I do!).
In that spirit, here’s a nifty little picture that I found on Flickr. It’s a set of Toronto subway buttons, with the background of each button matching the actual tiling for that subway station. The stations that you can see here are in the downtown core and waterfront areas of the city, which is why the names might be more recognizable to you than some of the other stations around. I thought it was a pretty cool picture, so I decided to pass it on to you.
