Toronto's Subway: Your Guide to Not Getting Stuck Underground (Unless You're Really Digging the Vibe)
So, you're in Toronto, the city that's like a glamorous older sibling to New York (but with better manners, eh?). You're out on the town, catching some live music, devouring a plate of poutine that could feed a small village, and – whoops! – you glanced at your phone and suddenly it's later than last call for dinner reservations. Panic starts to set in – will you be sleeping on a park bench or braving the sometimes-elusive Toronto streetcar?
Fear not, fellow traveler! This trusty guide will illuminate the nocturnal operations of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), specifically its subway system, which operates a pretty sweet late-night schedule.

| How Late Does The Subway Run In Toronto |
Weekdays & Saturdays: Your Last Chance Saloon is Around 2 AM
That's right, party people! Weekdays and Saturdays, you can generally catch a subway train until around 2:00 am. This means you can enjoy that extra round (or two) of drinks with friends, catch that improv comedy show that starts at a suspiciously late hour, or (let's be honest) hit up the late-night shawarma spot without worrying about becoming a permanent resident of the underground tunnels.
Important Note: Exact last train times can vary slightly depending on the station. To be safe, check the TTC website or app for the most up-to-date information before that last dance at the club.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Sundays: Sleeping In? The Subway Does Too (Kind Of)
Sundays are for sleeping in, right? Well, the TTC kinda agrees. On Sundays, subway service starts a bit later, around 8:00 am, and ends at the same glorious 2:00 am. So, whether you're recovering from a Saturday night out or just enjoying a relaxed Sunday Funday, you can still get around the city with ease (as long as you don't sleep in too late).
But Wait! There's More! (Because We Know You Probably Have Questions)
How to Check the Exact Last Train Time for Your Station?
The TTC's got your back! Head to their website https://www.ttc.ca/ or download their app to find real-time schedule information for every station.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
How to Deal with Late-Night Delays?
Nobody likes waiting, but sometimes (especially on weekends), there might be slight delays. Take a deep breath, channel your inner Canadian politeness, and maybe download a fun game or podcast to keep yourself entertained.

QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
How to Avoid All This Drama in the First Place?
Plan ahead! Know when the last train is for your station, and don't get too caught up in the Toronto nightlife that you forget about reality (it happens to the best of us).
So there you have it! With a little planning and this guide in your back pocket, you can navigate Toronto's subway system like a champ, no matter how late the night gets. Now get out there and explore this amazing city!
