In 1954 the TTC opened Canada's first subway line in Toronto. It ran along just under 7.5km of track, up and down Yonge St. The subway only went from Union Station to Eglinton with the only underground section between Bloor and Union Station. Tokens were just 3 for $0.25 at the time.
Check out this 7 min. CBC documentary that details the TTC subway's very early days. You can see people smoking in the stations. Smoking wasn't allowed on the trains.
