The Toronto subway is a system of three underground, surface, and elevated rapid transit lines in Toronto and Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It was the country's first subway system: the first line was built under Yonge Street with a short stretch along Front Street and opened in 1954 with 12 stations. Since then, the system has expanded to become Canada's largest in terms of number of stations and its second-busiest, with an average of 915,000 passenger trips each weekday recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017.[1] There are a total of 70 operating stations with an additional 60 under construction  28 of which will be street-running light rail transit (LRT) stops  and 5 former stations.

As of September 2024, three new lines are under construction, two light rail lines and one light metro line:
