The Toronto Subway system can be inefficient. We bought day passes, but we couldn't get into the subway station cause we had to wait in a (sometimes a huge) single lineup with people that need to purchase tickets. The booth with the person selling the subway tickets is the same booth as the one we need to show our day passes too. Can you say, bottleneck! Arg, I can't believe this is happening in a city like Toronto. But at least the trains are frequent enough. The streetcars are nice and they come very frequent as well. I must say that Calgary has a better system set up for leaving and entering the LRT/subway platform. The frequencies are a different story.
However, the London and Hong Kong subways are the best in my books. I especially liked the Hong Kong subways since they have pretty LED lights that display the exact location and direction that the subway is traveling to. The London Oyster cards and Hong Kong Octopus cards also makes entering and leaving the subways easier and faster. In Hong Kong, the octopus card can also be used in some 7 elevens!
