历史
[]在第一批欧洲人抵达该地区之前很久,大多伦多地区就已经是许多原住民(第一民族)部落的家园,他们居住在安大略湖岸边。在不同时期,中立族、塞内卡族、莫霍克族和休伦族都曾居住在该地区。密西沙加族于 17 世纪末或 18 世纪初抵达,驱逐了易洛魁人。
到 17 世纪,该地区已成为重要的交通枢纽,休伦河和鲁奇河提供了通往锡姆科湖和上五大湖的捷径。这些路线被称为“多伦多通道”。该地区后来成为从加拿大北部和西部到墨西哥湾的一系列小径和水路的重要通道。它被称为“多伦多通道”,沿着休伦河,是安大略湖、锡姆科湖和上五大湖之间重要的陆路捷径。因此,该地区成为法国毛皮交易者的热门地点。法国人建立了两个贸易站,1720 年代的 Magasin Royal,尽管在十年内被废弃,以及 1750 年代的 Fort Rouillé,该堡垒在 1759 年被撤退的法国驻军烧毁并废弃,当时他们正在撤离入侵的英国军队。
第一批大量欧洲移民定居该地区的是在美洲革命后抵达的“帝国忠诚派”,当时有各种个人向英国皇室请愿在多伦多地区获得土地。1787 年,英国人与新信托的密西沙加人谈判购买了多伦多地区超过 25 万英亩(1000平方公里)的土地。

GO Transit operates the commuter transit services serving municipalities within and near the GTA. It operates 7 commuter rail lines, radiating from Union Station at the base of Toronto's financial district. The Lakeshore West and Lakeshore East lines operate every day from 6AM to 1AM between Burlington and Pickering. Three other lines have limited mid-day service to Unionville (Markham), Aurora and Brampton. Otherwise, all other GO rail destinations are commuter-oriented, inbound to Union Station during morning rush hour and outbound during evening rush hour. GO buses often complement GO Transit rail service for destinations or time periods not covered by GO trains. Many GO bus route originate at four stations along subway Line 1 Yonge–University; they are Union Station, Yorkdale, York Mills and Highway 407.
There are various local transit operators to serve the different municipalities within the GTA. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is the largest, running all the buses, streetcars and subways within Toronto. York Region Transit operates buses in York Region, to the north of Toronto. YRT also runs 6 bus rapid transit (BRT) lines, known as VIVA; most connect to a TTC subway station. Durham Region Transit operates local bus service in Durham Region, east of Toronto, serving cities and towns between Toronto and Oshawa. MiWay operates bus service in Mississauga to the west of Toronto. Most of its services are centred on the Square One shopping centre and many of its routes connect to subway Line 2 Bloor–Danforth at Islington station. Also, to the west of Toronto, there are three small cities (Brampton, Oakville and Burlington) that have their own local bus systems.
Toronto International airport (YYZ IATA) in Mississauga is served by GO commuter buses (to Yorkdale/York Mills), Mississauga, Brampton and Toronto local buses and a TTC bus (at regular fare, $3.25) directly to TTC's Kipling subway station in Toronto/Etobicoke. There's also the UP Express, a train direct to Union Station in Toronto/Downtown with on-board wi-fi (cash fare $12.35, or $9.25 with a Presto card, credit card or mobile app payment, as of Mar 2021).
Presto 票价支付系统
[]|
使用 Presto 卡支付
Presto 卡是一种多次使用的电子票卡,具有存储余额;大多伦多地区的大部分公共交通服务都使用它,包括 TTC、GO Transit 和 UP Express。除非您符合减免的老年/青年票价资格,否则使用信用卡或借记卡比购买 Presto 卡更简单。 Presto 卡可在皮尔逊国际机场的UP Express 服务柜台、地铁站和皮尔逊国际机场的自动售票机(大型黑色机器接受现金、信用卡和借记卡)、联合车站的 GO Transit 服务柜台以及其他 GO Transit 车站、位于 Davisville 站的 TTC 总部、汉密尔顿市中心汉密尔顿 GO 中心以及该地区所有 Shoppers Drug Mart 商店购买,价格为 4 美元加上最低余额(5 美元或以下)。Presto 卡自动配置为扣除成人票价。对于减免的老年/青年票价,客户必须在亲自前往 Presto 服务点(非自动售票机)更改卡的票价类型;可能需要提供年龄证明。 |
Presto is an electronic fare payment system used by most transit systems in the Greater Toronto Area plus Hamilton and Ottawa. Presto is used by GO Transit and UP Express and the local transit agencies in Burlington, Brampton, Durham Region, Hamilton (HSR), Oakville, Ottawa (OC transpo), Mississauga (MiWay), Toronto (TTC) and York Region. Presto accepts payment by credit card, debit card, Presto card and (for TTC services only) Presto ticket. When you pay by credit or debit card, the standard fare is charged (i.e. no senior or youth discount available). Presto cards can be set for senior or youth discounts; see the Presto card infobox. For GO Transit and UP Express, you can tap a credit, debit or Presto card on a Presto reader but remember to tap off with the same card at your destination. For other systems such as the TTC that support Presto, tap your card against the Presto reader on the bus, streetcar or when passing through the subway faregates. To avoid accidental double charging, keep any unused credit or debit cards away from the Presto reader, and always use the same card during your trip. If travelling as a group, each rider must use a separate card. Debit card users may be charged a refundable pre-authorization fee.
TTC 使用Presto 票(与 Presto 卡不同)。与 Presto 卡不同,Presto 票没有存储价值,只能在指定时间内用于 TTC 车辆一次;不能用于非 TTC 车辆。有关 Presto 票的详细信息,请参阅多伦多文章的票价部分。
Via Rail 列车以及非 GO Transit 运营的城际巴士路线不接受 Presto。

在许多情况下,即使您站在公交车站,GO 公交车也不会停车,除非您表明需要搭乘。当公交车接近时,您必须通过举起手或车票来示意司机停车。
GO Transit 公交线路经常补充 GO 火车服务,或服务于远离 GO 火车线路的社区。以下是 GO 公交线路的部分列表
- 巴里(68 号线路),在奥罗拉 GO 车站换乘 GO Transit 的巴里火车线路前往多伦多,或乘坐 68B 号线路,在东格威利姆伯里 GO 车站换乘 65 号线路前往多伦多。从巴里到多伦多的行程时间为 2.5-2.75 小时。

GO 票价
[]GO 票价在公交和火车上相同,并且按距离收费。12 岁及以下的儿童可免费乘坐所有 GO 火车和公交车。GO Transit 在火车站和公交车站没有售票柜台,GO 火车和公交车车上没有自动售票机,公交车司机不接受现金。
票价可以通过在 Presto 票价阅读器上刷信用卡、借记卡或Presto 卡(更多详情请参阅上一个链接)来支付和验证,Presto 票价阅读器位于 GO 火车站或站台入口处,以及 GO 公交车的前部。与信用卡和借记卡不同,Presto 卡可以配置为老年(65+)和青年(13-19 岁)折扣,分别享受成人 Presto 票价 55% 和 40% 的折扣。使用 Presto 阅读器的票价比纸质票或电子票便宜 11.15%。
如果您使用借记卡、信用卡或 Presto 卡支付票价,您必须在行程开始时在 Presto 阅读器上刷卡,并在结束时再次刷卡。如果您在 GO 火车和 GO 公交车之间换乘,或在两辆 GO 公交车之间换乘,您必须在登上下一辆车之前在第一辆车上刷卡下车。对于 GO 火车,乘客在车站或站台入口/出口处刷卡进出。对于 GO 公交车,您必须在车门内刷卡上车和下车。请记住在下车时刷卡下车,以避免支付过高的票价。要取消已刷卡但尚未出发的行程,请按 Presto 阅读器菜单上的“更正”按钮,然后重新刷卡。如果您的钱包里有多张信用卡/借记卡,请将其他信用卡/借记卡远离 Presto 阅读器,以免重复支付票价。结伴出行的人员必须每人持有一张单独的卡。
在 GO Transit 和使用 Presto 阅读器的当地交通运营商之间换乘时,您可能有资格免费乘坐当地交通系统;只需在乘坐 GO Transit 火车或公交车时,在当地交通工具上刷信用卡、借记卡或 Presto 卡。当地票价将在您行程结束前退还。
纸质票可在车站的自动售票机上购买。有 3 种类型的纸质票:单程票、日票和团体票(最多 5 人同乘一张票,最多 2 名成人和 3 名青年)。
如果您有智能手机,您可以购买电子票来支付 GO 票价。某些 GO 促销活动,例如$10 单日周末通票,仅可通过电子票购买。可能提供老年折扣,但不提供青年折扣。请在线购买电子票,之后会通过电子邮件发送到您智能手机的电子邮件地址,其中包含一个链接。至少在搭乘 GO 火车或公交车前 5 分钟,点击智能手机上的链接激活您的电子票,因为 GO 电脑需要 5 分钟来验证您的票。激活后,电子票有效期为 4 小时。
GO Transit 与尼亚加拉公园委员会联合提供周末套票,包括前往尼亚加拉瀑布的 GO 火车票、当地 WEGO 公交服务以及一些景点的门票。
GO 火车采用支付证明系统;乘客在搭乘火车前,必须持有有效纸质票、电子票或已刷卡(信用卡、借记卡或 Presto 卡)的有效车票。搭乘火车前没有闸机或工作人员检查您是否持有有效车票,但 GO Transit 执法人员(如票务检查员)可能会进行随机检查,对无有效车票的乘客处以高额罚款。(执法人员携带特殊手持检查设备,可以电子方式检查客户的信用卡、借记卡或 Presto 卡,以查看该卡是否已用于购买票价)。
GO 行程规划器
[]Here are a few tips for using the GO Transit trip planner. If you are departing or arriving at Toronto (downtown), enter "Union Station" rather than "Toronto". "Union Station GO" is the railway station, "Union Station Bus Terminal" is for GO buses, "UP Express Union Station" is for the airport train and "UNION STATION TTC" is the TTC subway station, all four of which are in close proximity. For downtown Hamilton, select "Hamilton GO Centre". However, for hourly train service to Hamilton, select West Harbour GO as Hamilton GO Centre has mostly bus service. Most GO train stations are identified by the location name followed by the acronym "GO", and most GO bus terminal names end with the words "bus terminal". Thus, "Newmarket GO" is the GO train station in Newmarket while "Newmarket GO Bus Terminal" is 2 km west of the railway station.
GO Transit 还有一个完整时刻表页面,其中包含按 GO Transit 线路划分的公交/火车时刻表链接。链接页面包含该线路的路线图。
乘汽车
[]虽然在多伦多市中心停车费用昂贵,但驾车仍然是 GTA 许多地区方便(或在 GTA 郊区是必需)的出行方式。请注意,407 号高速公路是收费的。他们根据驾驶距离和时间收费(平日高峰时段收费最高,夜间和周末收费最低)。您看不到收费站。所有通行费均通过电子方式收取。407 号高速公路的免费替代路线是 401 号高速公路。
看
[]The City of Toronto is the biggest draw for visitors to the region and a good starting point to explore other reaches of the area. The CN Tower is North America's tallest free-standing structure, and takes visitors up nearly 450 m (1,480 ft) to observation decks, a restaurant, and a glass floor. From the observation decks, look toward the horizon to appreciate the sprawling scale of the GTA; silhouettes of high-rise apartments to the west in Mississauga are about 20 km (12 mi) away, and the shapes of tall smokestacks in Hamilton are over 50 km (31 mi) away. Look downward to see how daily life throughout the GTA converges on a busy downtown core; day and night, the trains, buses, airplanes and expressways passing by the tower connect the downtown to the rest of the region and beyond.
历史遗迹
[]
Canada's history is woven into the GTA's oldest neighbourhoods. Monuments, protected buildings, and historic markers turn these areas into destinations for seeing what life was like several generations ago. Toronto's Old Town preserves some of the region's oldest buildings still accessible to the public, such as the St. Lawrence Market, the Cathedral Church of St. James, and various buildings in the Distillery District. Just north of Downtown is Casa Loma, an impressive castle completed in 1914, open for tours and overlooking the city from a small ridge. Head further north to North York to see Black Creek Pioneer Village, a living museum near York University.
In Toronto's suburbs, Old Oakville, has a few small buildings restored to the pioneer era, with costumed interpreters. Parkwood Estate Gardens in Oshawa is a grand private estate featuring architectural, landscape and interior designs of the early 20th-century English Arts and Crafts period. It operates as a museum and public garden. Unionville Main Street historic village developed in the 1840s in what was then Markham Township. As typical of a small village, it boasts numerous quaint period buildings in an idyllic surrounding.
博物馆与画廊
[]安大略美术馆(Art Gallery of Ontario)和皇家安大略博物馆(Royal Ontario Museum)是加拿大最大的博物馆之一,拥有永久收藏和特别展览,可能需要一整天的时间才能详细游览。
在旺市,麦克迈克尔加拿大艺术画廊(McMichael Canadian Art Gallery)专注于加拿大艺术,包括“七人画派”以及第一民族、梅蒂斯和因纽特艺术家的作品。在布兰普顿,皮尔艺术博物馆和档案馆(Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives)展出当地历史和当代艺术,以及对皮尔地区社区有吸引力的国际作品,同时博物馆文物讲述了多伦多西部城镇和社区的故事。
科学与自然
[]The Toronto Zoo occupies a huge area of land near Rouge Park in Scarborough, home to many exotic animals and Canadian wildlife. Toward the western edge of the GTA in Burlington, the Royal Botanical Gardens preserves over 900 hectares (2,200 acres) of nature sanctuary that forms part of the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve. With several gardens, an arboretum and conservatory, the complex is one of the largest botanical gardens in North America.
活动
[]艺术与文化
[]Toronto has a busy live theatre calendar, including locally produced shows, shows being prepared for Broadway, and touring shows. Venues are focused in the Entertainment District and Yonge-Dundas. Smaller theaters located in the suburbs also offer quality programming throughout the year, including many shows for children. North of Toronto, York Region is home to the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. Peel has the Brampton Rose Theatre and Mississauga Living Arts Centre, and Halton has the Oakville Centre for Performing Arts. These venues also host each city's local symphony orchestra, as well as visiting musical performers.
九月初举行的为期10天的多伦多国际电影节(Toronto International Film Festival)是世界领先的电影节之一。与戛纳电影节不同,多伦多电影节向影迷开放,2019年展映了245部电影,吸引了近50万观众。全年其他时间,电影节总部(TIFF Bell Lightbox)对公众开放,放映加拿大和国际电影,举办特别展览,并提供省电影图书馆的研究服务。

餐饮

一些全国连锁店将多伦多或其郊区作为其发源地;Swiss Chalet烤鸡餐厅起源于多伦多,而Pizza Pizza外卖连锁店与该市有着足够紧密的联系,以至于已将其在多伦多地区广为人知的电话号码(+1 416-967-1111)的最后七位注册为商标。Harvey's火焰烤汉堡(flame-broiled hamburger)最早是在约克区推出的。许多小型地区性连锁店也从一家成功的店铺发展而来,服务于不断增长的郊区人口。
由于强大的移民社区不断壮大,多伦多的民族特色美食质量很高,与各自的发源地相当。菜肴通常由来自这些国家的厨师烹制,吸引着移民在整个地区旅行,品尝“家乡的味道”。虽然在当地各主街和市中心都能找到正宗的餐厅,但你也会在一些看似安静的街区购物中心和商业区发现隐藏的美食瑰宝,这些地方利用更便宜的房地产和额外的空间,除了餐饮服务外,还提供杂货或外卖服务。
In Toronto, you'll find Greek food on Danforth Avenue, Chinese foods in Chinatown, Caribbean food in Scarborough among others. Elsewhere in the GTA you'll find Indian foods in Brampton, Lebanese and Hakka cuisine in Mississauga, a variety of Chinese restaurants in Richmond Hill and Markham, or Italian in Vaughan. If a local refers you to their "local" spot for a particular dish, it may well be on the other side of the GTA and worth the trip.

- 巴里(Barrie)以北的安大略中部(Central Ontario)——是许多多伦多人度假的目的地。向西前往奥里利亚(Orillia)和穆斯科卡(Muskoka)方向,或者向东穿过彼得伯勒(Peterborough)和卡瓦塔斯(Kawarthas)地区,前往阿冈昆省立公园(Algonquin Provincial Park)。
- 该地区的许多人会在冬季定期前往科林伍德(Collingwood),被蓝山度假村(Blue Mountain)吸引,进行滑雪、单板滑雪和其他户外活动。该镇的冬季比大多伦多地区更寒冷;多伦多温和、雪融的冬天,在蓝山可能正是完美的一天。
