Presto card runs the TTC: Tap a Presto card for $3.30 a ride or $156/month unlimited on subway, streetcar, bus and GO Transit. The UP Express to Pearson is $12.35 and takes 25 minutes, vastly better than the $70 cab through gridlock. Interac e-Transfer is how everyone pays: Rent, splitting brunch, paying the cleaner: Canadians use Interac e-Transfer (an email-based bank transfer) for everything.

Leslieville and the Annex: Leslieville east of downtown is the young-family pick: Queen East cafés, Riverdale Park, easy streetcar. The Annex around Bathurst and Bloor is the U of T expat zone with the best cycling infrastructure in the city.
