Notes
- ^ The current system incorporates elevated sections built in 1870.
- ^ Totals represent the sum of the "Heavy Rail (HR)" and "Intermediate Rail (IR)" figures for Toronto from the APTA ridership report – in other words, figures include stations and ridership on Line 3 Scarborough (RT), which APTA considers to be an IR line and which the Toronto Transit Commission includes in the rapid transit system for mapping and administrative purposes.
- ^ This system does not have update data of the avg. daily weekday boardings, this number correspond to the regular average.
- ^ a b c d e This rapid transit system is integrated with a light rail system; only the parts of the system that are rapid transit/metro, and that are not light rail, are counted in the statistics presented here.
- ^ This is the Average Daily Ridership figure, not an Average Weekday Ridership figure – it is averaged from the Q4 2014 Total Ridership figure for this system.
