Urban Transportation in Canada
Public transportation Transit passes
All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation(bus，subway，train，etc.)The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada.To use public transportation，you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass.Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period(one month or more)．They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.
Transportation for people with disabilities
Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities.In many cities and towns，there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility，such as specially equipped buses.You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.
Etiquette on public transportation
When taking public transportation such as a bus or train，it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space.Here are a few things to note：
Be polite and respectful to others around you.For example，maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.
If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle，keep it close to you，preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.
Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself.Sometimes public transit can become very crowded，but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.
Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.
