{{See also|Trams in Toruń}}
The transport network in the city has undergone major development in recent years. The partial completion of ring road (East and South), the completion of the second bridge (2013) and various road, and cycling lane improvements, including construction of [[Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa|Trasa Średnicowa]], have decidedly improved the traffic in the city. However, noise barriers that have been erected along the new or refurbished roads have been criticised as not conducive to a beautiful urban landscape. The extensive roadworks have also drawn attention to the declining population numbers, casting doubt that the city might over-deliver for the future number of road users, as the demographic trends forecast from [[Statistics Poland]] predicts a reduction of population by almost 1/4 by year 2050.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.polskawliczbach.pl/Torun | title=Toruń (Kujawsko-pomorskie) » mapy, nieruchomości, GUS, noclegi, szkoły, regon, atrakcje, kody pocztowe, wypadki drogowe, bezrobocie, wynagrodzenie, zarobki, tabele, edukacja, demografia }}</ref>

The city's public transport system consists of an extensive [[Trams in Toruń|tram network]] with seven lines. The Tram network operates exclusively on the northern bank of the Vistula river.

In addition to the tram network, the city runs 40 day time bus routes and six night time bus routes, covering the city and some of the neighboring communities including the southern side of the city.

Toruń is situated at a major road junction, one of the most important in Poland. The [[A1 autostrada (Poland)|A1]] [[highway]] reaches Toruń, and a southern [[beltway]] surrounds the city. Besides these, the [[European route E75]] and a number of domestic roads (numbered 10, 15, and 80) run through the city.

With three main railway stations ([[Toruń Główny (PKP station)|Toruń Główny]], Toruń Miasto and Toruń Wschodni), the city is a major rail junction, with two important lines crossing there ([[Warsaw]]&ndash;[[Bydgoszcz]] and [[Wrocław]]&ndash;[[Olsztyn]]). Two other lines stem from Toruń, toward [[Malbork]] and [[Sierpc]].

The rail connection with [[Bydgoszcz]] is run under a name "BiT City" as a "metropolitan rail". Its main purpose is to allow traveling between and within these cities using one ticket. A joint venture of Toruń, [[Bydgoszcz]], [[Solec Kujawski]] and the voivodeship, it is considered as important in integrating [[Bydgoszcz-Toruń]] metropolitan area. A major modernization of BiT City railroute, as well as a purchase of completely new vehicles to serve the line, is planned for 2008 and 2009. Technically, it will allow to travel between Toruń-East and Bydgoszcz-Airport stations at a speed of {{convert|120|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in a time of approximately half an hour. In a few years' time "BiT City" will be integrated with local transportation systems of Toruń and Bydgoszcz, thus creating a uniform metropolitan transportation network&nbsp;– with all necessary funds having been secured in 2008.

Since September 2008, the "one-ticket" solution has been introduced also as regards a rail connection with [[Włocławek]], as a "regional ticket". The same is planned for connection with [[Grudziądz]].

Two bus depots serve to connect the city with other towns and cities in Poland.

{{As of|2008}}, a [[Toruń Airport|small sport airfield]] exists in Toruń; however, a modernization of the airport is seriously considered with a number of investors interested in it. Independently of this, [[Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport]], located about {{convert|50|km|0|abbr=off}} from Toruń city centre, serves the whole [[Bydgoszcz-Toruń]] metropolitan area, with a number of regular flights to European cities.
