To estimate the time of your subway journey, count two minutes per stop. For example, if you’re traveling 8 stops, it should take roughly 16 minutes. This of course varies with stops. Stops towards the end of the lines take longer than 2 minutes between each station.

When you’ve been waiting for the bus for a while near the end of its route, the bus will likely come from the opposite direction you’re traveling, as it will have to loop around first before heading back to the subway station. For this reason you can take it easy while you’re waiting, and when you see the bus pass by you going in the opposite direction you’re traveling, know the bus is just minutes away from turning around and coming up in your direction. You may even have time to go to a convenience store, if you keep your eyes on the road to see when the bus passes by you going the other way — giving you a few minutes warning.

At the end of a bus line, the bus usually doesn’t return on the same street it arrived on, as it can’t do a u-turn, but rather uses smaller side streets to turn around. Therefore, wait for the bus in the opposite direction you want to travel. For example, there is no stop going north at the Queen and Lansdowne intersection. Catch the bus at the stop going south, and the bus will turn around using side streets, and then come out onto Lansdowne a block north of Queen Street.
