The numbering of the subway lines was announced by the TTC in 2013, and phased in over the following year (possibly in anticipation of the 2015 Pan-Am Games, which were expected to be a major tourist draw). Prior to this, the lines were generally referred to by name only. They are numbered in the order they commenced operation. With the closure of line 3, it is unclear if any future lines will be assigned this number.

* The TTC has received criticism for being the only transit system in North America that has zero government financing or supervision (largely due to conservative government changes in the 90's), which means that riders are actually paying for the system to keep going, instead of taxes going towards it. Adding to this, prices continued to increase while service times decreased, leading to a large drop in riders during COVID. At the same time, violent incidents increased by ''48 percent'' during the pandemic, many of which were completely random and senseless ([[ForTheEvulz like people getting pushed onto tracks for no reason]]). This has led to public outcry for major changes to be made to how TTC is managed. So far, little change has been made.
