I was recently forwarded the Subway Navigator site which has a number of international cities’ subway maps and can help you figure out how to get form one place to another underground. Toronto is listed and is currently the 5th most popular city requested.
It’s good to see sites like these popping up. The TTC is trying to get Toronto listed on Google Transit, a map/directions site (currently, Portland is the only city in use).

The TTC can keep trying. The Google gadget is so far, unusable. You are far more likely to get more information to get somewhere with the old-school ttc.ca site, than google at this time.
In other words, iMetro sucks.
This is kind of neat. It’s not heavy on the graphics or anything, but the travel times look useful.
It’s actually not that recent a development – in fact it’s pretty old as websites go. I remember arriving to university as a freshman 11 years ago and discovering the relatively young world of the internet, and this was one of the first websites that really piqued my interest. They’ve changed the interface (used to be almost exclusively text-based, except for the maps) and added new systems, but the TTC stuff is pretty much the same (they did update the map after the Downsview extension opened in ’96). Back then all this seemed like cutting-edge stuff, but now it seems rather dated.
Too bad they are completely missing the Sheppard subway line.
