Commute times in Toronto: compare neighborhoods before you move
Toronto's DVP and Gardiner turn short distances into hour-long crawls, while the TTC subway and GO corridors move predictably through the worst of it. Comparing homes in the GTA means comparing highway exposure against transit access — kilometres barely matter.
