Answer 1

Toronto is one of the favourite destinations for Indians in Canada. All major European airlines fly with one stop over to Pearson Airport at Toronto.

Toronto is friendly city, with lots of Indians around. It is one of the cheapest shopping point for tourists in North America. The Malls are plenty and good. The CNN Tower is a famous tall building attracts a lot of tourists with glass floor at the top gallery scaring you for a while. The night life at down town is famous but be careful of mugging.

You may also visit Gerard Street, a Canadian replica of Chandni Chowk with lots of Indians and Indian Shops; can taste butter chicken, chaat papri etc. besides regular American stuff of burgers, KFC, Mexican wraps, Pizzas etc.

From Toronto, about a three hour drive is famous Niagara Falls - Horse Shoe shape falls on Canadian side of the borders. Just across the fall is America. At Niagara you can have ride on helicopter overseeing the falls or have a sail very close to the falls by Maid of Mist. There are also a famous crocodile park and amusement facilities at Niagara.

Getting Around
Public Transport
Toronto has a well-developed public transport system, operated by two companies. Principal services in the city centre are run by the Toronto Transit Commission– TTC (tel: [phone]; website: www.ttc.ca) and include subway and rapid transit lines, as well as tram and bus routes.

Toronto’s three subway lines operate Monday to Saturday 0600–0130 and Sunday 0900–0130. The arms of the U-shaped Yonge–University–Spadina subway extend from Union in the south to Finch and Downsview to the north. The Bloor–Danforth subway connects Etobicoke in the west with Scarborough in the east, where the Scarborough Rapid Transit basically provides an eastward extension to the line. The east–west Sheppard subway serves northeast Toronto.

Streetcars (trams) and buses operate throughout the city centre approximately 0500–0030/0100 Monday to Saturday and Sunday from 0900. These are supplemented by the ‘Blue Night Network’ night services from 0130–0500.

All TTC adult ticket fares cost C$2.25, although prepaid fares are cheaper at C$9.50 for five tokens or tickets, purchased at subway stations or from newsagents. These are often handier, as exact change is required on buses and trams. Transfers are available for switching between the subway, bus and tram. A day pass costs C$7.75 and is valid for two adults or an entire family on Sundays and holidays.

GO Transit (tel: [phone] or [phone]; website: www.gotransit.com) operates rail services from Union Station to suburban destinations to the east and west, as well as GO buses throughout the Greater Toronto Area. These commuter trains, supplemented by coaches in the outlying area, run Monday to Friday approximately 0600–2405 and weekends 0900–2445. Tickets start at C$3 and are available from GO train stations, bus terminals, transit ticket agencies and bus drivers. Ticket prices vary depending on distance travelled. Day passes, costing C$6 are also available.

Taxis
Within the city centre, taxis can be hailed at almost any time and also can be found at taxi ranks or ordered by telephone. Most taxis operate as part of one of Toronto’s major dispatching companies – Diamond Taxi (tel: [phone]), Crown Taxi (tel: [phone]) or Co-op Cabs (tel: [phone]). An initial charge of C$2.50 applies and rises according to the time and distance travelled. A five- to ten-minute trip should not cost more than C$10. Taxi drivers are commonly tipped around 15% of the fare.

Limousines
Chauffeur and limousine services are available from a number of companies, starting at around C$50 per hour for a town car and C$100 per hour or more for a stretch limo. Companies include Carey Limousine Canada (tel: [phone] or [phone]; website: www.careycan.com) and Dynasty Limousine Service (tel: [phone] or [phone]; website: www.dynastylimoservice.com).

Driving in the City
Traffic is heaviest during the rush hours (0730–0930 and 1630–1930), particularly on the major motorways leading in and out of the city, which can make driving to the airport a longer than expected ordeal. Toronto is laid out on an easy-to-follow grid system, with a few notable exceptions, such as the Don Valley Parkway, snaking along the ravine east of the city centre. Yonge Street, allegedly the longest street in the world, is the city’s main thoroughfare, bisecting the city centre into east and west. Its junction with Bloor Street forms the city’s most major and central intersection.

Although there is a lot of street parking available, it is notoriously difficult for drivers to find a spot and many opt for the simpler although slightly more expensive option of parking in a private car park. In the city centre, these typically charge around C$4 per hour, with a daily maximum of between C$5 and C$20 and evening flat rates of between C$4 and C$9 (as high as C$15 near nightlife spots on the weekend). Canpark (tel: [phone]) operates a number of 24-hour locations in the city centre.

Car Hire
All major North American car hire companies are represented in Toronto, along with a few local ones, at numerous locations throughout the city. Those with the most central locations and accepting international reservations include Budget, 1319 Bay Street (tel: [phone]; website: www.budgettoronto.com), Discount, 730 Yonge Street (tel: [phone]; website: www.discountcar.com), Hertz, 135 Parliament Street (tel: [phone]; website: www.hertz.com), National, Union Station (tel: [phone]; website: www.nationalcar.com), and Thrifty, 191 Parliament Street (tel: [phone]; website: www.thrifty.com).

Hire charges are approximately C$40–50 per day and C$240–280 per week, not including insurance, which is charged at C$20–26. Drivers must be at least 23 years old and pay by credit card. North American and European visitors may use national licences. Visitors from other countries are often required to have an International Driving Permit as well.

Bicycle Hire
Bicycle hire in Toronto can be arranged through Cyclepath, 2106 Yonge Street (tel: [phone]; website: www.thecyclepath.com), at C$25 per 24-hour day, and Wheel Excitement, 5 Rees Street, situated just south of the SkyDome (tel: [phone]; website: www.wheelexcitement.com), at C$12 for the first hour and C$3 per hour thereafter (maximum C$28 per 24-hour day). Wheel Excitement also hires out rollerblades at the same rates. Maps and information on cycling in the city are available from the Toronto Cycling Committee (tel: [phone]; website: www.toronto.ca/cycling), which has a downloadable cycling map, and the Toronto Bicycling Network (tel: [phone]; website: www.tbn.on.ca). Riding a bicycle in the winter is not a good idea, due to possible icy road conditions (not to mention the cold).



Toronto stands on the northern shore of Lake Ontario and the view of the city across the water is stunning and unmistakable – the CN Tower, thrusting skyward near the water’s edge, is the world’s tallest tower. Framing it is a glimmering collection of skyscrapers, which give way to a dense city centre with pleasant leafy residential areas and parks, notably along the ravines that cut through the city. The capital of the Province of Ontario, Toronto is Canada’s largest city and the fifth largest in North America. A dominant force in the business and economy of the nation, it is also the cultural centre of English-speaking Canada.

Initially claimed by the French in the 18th century, it was not until the American Revolution caused hordes of United Empire Loyalists (loyal to England) to escape to Toronto that the city became an established settlement. Then known as York, the town was exceedingly British in character, functioning as the administrative capital of English-speaking Upper Canada and becoming a thriving manufacturing centre by the 19th century. In 1834, the city was renamed Toronto, a Huron Indian word meaning ‘meeting place’.

The Toronto of the 19th and early 20th centuries was a law-abiding city, where rules were made and rarely broken and where the overriding concern was making money. As such, Toronto gained a reputation as a conservative, boring enclave of Protestantism, a reputation that still dogs it to some extent today. Older residents can remember the days when the city would come to a standstill on Sundays and only a handful of the very best restaurants served wine.

Towards the end of the 1950s, a surge in the arrival of immigrants infused Toronto with new foods, new languages and, most importantly, new attitudes. Italians, Portuguese and Eastern Europeans arrived first, followed by immigrants from the Caribbean, Asia and India. They settled into what would become the city’s great ethnic neighbourhoods – Greektown, Little Italy and Chinatown. Toronto gradually developed a multiethnic North American character and shrugged off its colonial identity, although vestiges still remain, such as the English-style pubs and the ingrained habit among conservative clubs and societies of toasting the Queen before eating. There is a similar juxtaposition in the architecture of the city itself; at first glance, Toronto does not appear all that different from any other large American city, albeit a clean one, although closer inspection reveals preserved Victorian and Edwardian buildings and a profusion of neighbourhood pubs.

The Toronto of today is a lively, cultured place with hot summers and cold, dry winters. It is the most economically important city in Canada, the centre of finance, media and services, and home to more corporate head offices than any other. By night, its people indulge themselves at the city’s numerous restaurants, bars and clubs, or at the symphony, opera and theatre. More than anything, however, Toronto is defined by its citizenry – friendly, efficient and one of the most multicultural in the world.
