===Schedules and route information===
On December 15, 2008, the TTC launched a new next vehicle arrival system (NVAS)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www3.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Projects_and_initiatives/Customer_Information_Initiatives/Next_vehicle_information_system/index.jsp |title=TTC Next Vehicle Information System |publisher=Toronto Transit Commission |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090408024251/http://www3.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Projects_and_initiatives/Customer_Information_Initiatives/Next_vehicle_information_system/index.jsp |archive-date=April 8, 2009 |access-date=December 27, 2014}}</ref> to indicate the time of arrival of the next vehicle along a given route. All TTC streetcars have been upgraded with [[Global Positioning System]] (GPS) receivers and now operate with NVIS.

Real-time route information can be accessed from the NVAS from the City of [[Toronto Open Data]] initiative via [[SMS]] by texting the stop number displayed on the bus/streetcar stop pole, or with an app that uses NVAS data.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ttc.ca/Riding_the_TTC/Stay_Informed/index.jsp |title=Stay Informed |website=ttc.ca |access-date=April 13, 2019 |archive-date=April 14, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414190548/http://www2.ttc.ca/Riding_the_TTC/Stay_Informed/index.jsp |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Route information can also be accessed by phone. Individual route schedules are available online.

Additional TTC information is circulated by "What's On" and "Rocket Rider / TTC Customer News" pamphlets on some vehicles. Information can be accessed in person at the [[William McBrien Building|TTC head office]] ([[Davisville station]] at 1900 Yonge Street), as well as at a TTC Info Centre, which opened in 2018, at [[Union station (TTC)|Union station]]. [[Twitter]]<!--Please don't mention its new name of X--> users can communicate with TTCHelps for inquiries.<ref>{{Cite Twitter profile|TTCHelps}}</ref>

[[File:TTCStreetcarShelter.jpg|thumb|left|Some TTC shelters are equipped with displays that show when the next bus or streetcar will arrive, such as this one for [[501 Queen]].]]
Most subway stations are equipped with OneStop media screens that display the time until the next train, and other information. The next vehicle feature is available on LCD screens in all stations. Since mid-2011, all buses and streetcars have had the tracking feature enabled, accessible free online and by SMS for commuters.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/07/11/nextbus-lets-ttc-riders-track-buses-by-gps/ |title=Updated: NextBus lets TTC riders track buses by GPS |first=Aileen |last=Donnelly |work=National Post |date=July 11, 2011 |access-date=December 27, 2014}}</ref>

On February 3, 2010, the TTC launched an online trip planner, which allows commuters to plan their routes and transfers on the TTC's website. However, since its launch, the trip planner has remained in beta mode with many bugs remaining to be fixed.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.ttc.ca/News/2010/February/02_02_Trip_Planner.jsp |title=A new way to plan your TTC trip&nbsp;— User feedback sought as TTC unveils beta trip planner |publisher=Toronto Transit Commission |date=February 2, 2010 |access-date=January 28, 2015 |archive-date=January 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117231313/http://www.ttc.ca/News/2010/February/02_02_Trip_Planner.jsp |url-status=dead }}</ref> In October 2010, the TTC integrated its trip planner with [[Google Maps]].<ref name="Google">{{cite press release |title=Google Transit adds TTC to trip planning feature |url=https://www.ttc.ca/News/2010/October/Oct_12_google_Open_data.jsp |date=October 12, 2010 |publisher=Toronto Transit Commission |access-date=January 28, 2015 |archive-date=January 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126153655/http://www.ttc.ca/News/2010/October/Oct_12_google_Open_data.jsp |url-status=dead }}</ref> Transit information in Toronto has been available in [[Apple Maps]] since the release of [[iOS 9]] in September 2015, when [[Apple Inc.]] first launched support for public transit data.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/a-first-look-at-ios-9s-transit-in-apple-maps |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150808085814/http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/a-first-look-at-ios-9s-transit-in-apple-maps |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 8, 2015 |title=A First Look at iOS 9's Transit in Apple Maps (Updated for watchOS 2) |website=Ilounge.com |date=August 11, 2015 |access-date=December 30, 2017 }}</ref>
