T.T.C. Subway train

Back then, the TTC had just two subway lines: Line One and Line Two. Line One was called the Yonge subway line, and it ran underground northbound from Union Station to Eglinton Station along Yonge Street. It was to reduce traffic congestion in downtown Toronto before it expanded from Eglinton to Finch. The Yonge/University line was added to the Yonge line, and it ran along University Ave to St George subway before two expansions. The first was from St George to Sheppard West, and the second, and current, expanded to Sheppard, ending at the Vaughn Metropolitan Centre.

Riding on the TTC helped West Indians improve their social life. The TTC company runs bus, train, and subway services, and while commuting on the bus and streetcar was a familiar mode, for most West Indians before migrating, the subway trains, travelling underground, were a huge adjustment. The regularity and efficiency of the train service also created anxious moments, trying to beat the closing train doors or running down the subway station steps upon hearing an outgoing train or presuming a train was still on the platform just from seeing someone exit the station.
