How to use Canada's First Subway : leaflet issued by the Toronto Transit Commission : Toronto, Canada : 1954 : transfer regulations and arrangements

            On 30 March 1954 the Toronto Transit Commission opened the first line of the city's Subway system - the Yonge Subway. This folding leaflet describes the route of the Subway and associated tram, bus and trolleybus routes as well as explaining the use of the Subway; the ticketing, transfers, stations and signs. The transfer system, allowing interchange between the Subway and various surface routes seems to modern eyes quite complex with a range of possible interactions both human and machine.

I've had to scan it in several sections given the dimensions of the foldout leaflet. Someone has added the date of November 19 1954 and I can only presume this was the date of their first trip!
