Transit City was a plan for developing public transport in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
It was first proposed and announced on 16 March 2007 by then-Toronto Mayor David Miller and Chair of the Toronto Transit Commission （TTC） Adam Giambrone.
The plan called for the construction of seven new light rail lines along the streets of seven priority transit corridors, which would have eventually been integrated with existing rapid transit, streetcar, and bus routes.
Other transit improvements outlined in the plan included upgrading and extending the Scarborough RT line, implementing new bus rapid transit lines, and improving frequency and timing of 21 key bus routes.
The plan integrated public transportation objectives outlined in the City of Toronto Official Plan, the TTC Ridership Growth Strategy and Miller's 2006 election platform.
Since the official announcement of the plan, preliminary engineering work and environmental impact assessments were done for the construction of the light rail lines.
Public meetings were held to generate community discussion.
The plan was initially reported to be funded by both municipal and provincial levels of government.
However, the Government of Ontario postponed a portion of its capital funding to Transit City, which met with much public and political controversy, resulting in changes to construction plans and delayed start dates.
Construction of one of the lines began in December 2009.
On 1 December 2010, Mayor Rob Ford took office saying that the first job of the new transit commission, to be appointed on 8 December, would be to "stop spending money on a project we don't need anymore".
Ford campaigned on a platform proposing expansion of the subway system, instead of implementing light rail lines.
