On weekends, for $9 (CAD), 2 adults + up to 4 children (or 1 adult + up to 5 children) can ride public transportation all day long -- including subway, buses, and streetcars. Jenny and I used this on our trip and it's quite a bargain! Otherwise, each trip is $2.75 per ride per person, so it paid for itself in one round trip for us.
On weekdays, it's also $9, but only good for 1 person. Still a good deal if you are planning on using public transportation everywhere, as each individual fare is $2.75, which means that the pass pays for itself in 2 roundtrips on one day (out and back twice = $11).
So how do you get one of these Magic Tickets? At any subway station, tell the person working in the ticket booth that you want a Day Pass. They'll take your $9 and give you a ticket that looks like this:
(But with the current date scratched off, of course.)
As you travel the rest of the day, simply show that card to anyone taking fares -- that's the guy in the booth at subway stations and the driver on buses and streetcars. It was remarkably easy to use the pass, and I highly recommend it.
Again, if you have any questions at all about this, feel free to drop me a line or post a comment here. I am no expert, but I'll try to help.
