Toronto ist ungewöhnlich für Nordamerika, weil ein Hund jeder Größe an der Leine kostenlos U-Bahn, Straßenbahn und Bus fahren darf. Der Haken ist eher die Uhrzeit als die Größe des Tieres: Die TTC verbietet Haustiere während der werktäglichen Stoßzeiten, Ihr Tag muss sich also um einen Morgen vor 6:30 Uhr oder nach 10:00 Uhr und einen Nachmittag herum aufbauen, der die Zeit von 15:30 bis 19:00 Uhr meidet. Das Regionalnetz ist ähnlich großzügig, GO Transit und der UP-Express-Flughafenzug nehmen beide bis zu zwei angeleinte Hunde kostenlos außerhalb der Stoßzeiten mit und verlangen innerhalb davon eine Transportbox in Schoßgröße. Zählt man die Fähren zur Toronto Island hinzu, die angeleinte Haustiere das ganze Jahr über mitnehmen, ist ein autofreier Besuch mit einem großen Hund tatsächlich machbar, solange man vorher den Fahrplan liest.

| Verkehrsmittel | Richtlinie | Tipp |
|---|---|---|
| Subway, streetcar and bus (TTC) | Leashed pets, or pets secured in an enclosed container, travel free on every TTC mode at weekends and on holidays all day, and on weekdays only during the off-peak periods: before 6:30, from 10:00 to 15:30, and after 19:00. Non-service animals are not allowed during weekday peak periods. Dogs are not permitted on the seats and must stay on the floor at your feet. Service animals may accompany a passenger at any time. | 💡 |
| GO Transit and UP Express airport train | Both networks take up to two leashed dogs per passenger at no extra charge, all day at weekends and on holidays, and on weekdays from 9:30 to 15:30 and from 18:30 until the end of service. Outside those hours a dog, like every other pet, must be in a carrier that fits on your lap or under your seat. On GO trains and buses dogs must use the lower level, and all other pets must be in a carrier at all times. Service animals travel any day, any time. | 💡 |
| Toronto Island ferries | Pets are allowed on the ferries from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at 9 Queens Quay West and must be on a leash at all times inside the waiting area and on board, and must never be left unattended. The islands themselves are entirely on-leash: there is no off-leash area anywhere on Toronto Island Park, and dogs are not permitted on the island beaches. | 💡 |
Toronto Pearson (YYZ) lies about 22 km north-west of downtown and handles nearly all international arrivals. The good news for owners is the UP Express, which runs from Terminal 1 to Union Station in around 25 minutes and takes up to two leashed dogs free of charge outside weekday rush hours, so a large dog does not force you into a taxi the way it does in most North American cities. Land outside the 9:30 to 15:30 or post-18:30 windows, though, and your dog has to fit in a lap-sized carrier, which for a big animal means a taxi instead. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport sits on the island edge of the harbour and puts you a short walk from the waterfront, and VIA Rail arrives at Union Station in the heart of downtown.
The weekday peak ban is the single fact that shapes a Toronto itinerary with a dog. Between 6:30 and 10:00, and again between 15:30 and 19:00, a pet cannot legally board a subway train, streetcar or bus, and there is no small-dog exemption for the peak window: the restriction applies to leashed animals and carried animals alike. In practice that means starting the day on foot, taking the subway out to a park at mid-morning, and either walking home along the waterfront or waiting until after 19:00 to ride back. Weekends remove the problem entirely, which is why Saturday and Sunday are the days to attempt anything that involves crossing the city. Downtown itself is flat and compact, so the Distillery District, St Lawrence, the Harbourfront and the ferry terminal are all within an easy walk of one another.
