- Use a PRESTO card or tap your credit/debit card for seamless travel on the TTC, which includes a free two-hour transfer window across subways, streetcars, and buses.
- Expect to tip between 15% and 20% at sit-down restaurants, as gratuity is rarely included in the bill and is a standard social expectation for service staff.
- Stand on the right side of escalators in subway stations and shopping centers to allow others to pass on the left.
- Avoid leaving any valuables visible in parked cars to prevent 'smash and grab' thefts, which are the most common petty crimes in urban areas.
