Looking at big cities with populations of over 300,000, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal took the three top spots with Transit Score ratings of 78, 74, and 67, respectively. Transit Score is calculated based on indicators showing that local public transit is both convenient, and runs frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToronto is highly populated and growing all the time. The influx of people from all over the world to Toronto puts a strain on all aspects of transportation in regards to road infrastructure and traffic in and out of the city, which is nothing less than gridlock,\u201d said <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.ca\/real-estate-agents\/blair-anderson\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blair Anderson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, broker of record and market manager for Redfin in Toronto. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSignificant growth requires major transit infrastructure, and the city has recognized that and is investing in transit. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates in the city, and plans to expand the light rail and subway service. GO train, our commuter rail system, is also undergoing a significant expansion, to make it even more accessible to those living farther out,\u201d he said. \u201cSome people moan and complain about public transit, but Toronto\u2019s system is one of the better transit systems in the world. It\u2019s highly ranked, runs well on a timely basis, and doesn\u2019t have many problems. And without it, the city would shut down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a score of 78, Toronto\u2019s Transit Score holds an edge over several large U.S. cities. It ranks higher than Boston\u2019s 72 rating, and falls just shy of San Francisco\u2019s score of 80, earning a comparable place among the largest cities in North America. Vancouver too ranks above the likes of Boston, as well as Washington, D.C. (71). Montreal meanwhile, finds a partner in Philadelphia, with both cities earning a score of 67.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on for the full ranking of the top 15 large cities (with populations of more than 300,000) in Canada for public transit in 2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 997px;\" width=\"528\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Rank<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>City<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Transit Score<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toronto<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">78<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vancouver<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">74<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montr\u00e9al<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">67<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mississauga<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">56<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brampton<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">53<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winnipeg<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">51<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calgary<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ottawa<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edmonton<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">49<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Markham<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">49<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu\u00e9bec<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">47<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surrey<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">47<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laval<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">46<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamilton<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">London<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know how we determine Transit Score?
