Orphaned references in Public transportation in Toronto

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Public transportation in Toronto's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "GO Numbers":

From GO Transit: "Info to GO" (PDF). GO Transit. January 2014. Retrieved 8 January 2014.
From Toronto: "Info to GO" (PDF). GO Transit. Retrieved May 24, 2011.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:29, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Most extensive?

"making it the most extensive rapid transit system in Canada"

This appears to be opinion. Is there a reliable reference marking the Toronto subway system as being more "extensive" than Montreal's subway system? What does "extensive" mean in this context? How is extensiveness measured? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisisnotatest (talk • contribs) 21:59, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That I have no idea. The total length of all the lines of the Montreal Metro is longer than that of the total length of all the lines of the Toronto rapid transit system. Yes, "extensive" is a vague term. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 02:15, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the confirmation. I decided to be bold and remove it. If someone has a source, they're welcome to re-add it with the reference. Thisisnotatest (talk) 04:45, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

Something is wrong with the statistics on this page. 10km average one way trip translates to 20km a day. So average 96 min spent on transit per week assuming a 5 day work week computes to an average speed of a minute per kilometre which is quite frankly impossible. This would be an average travel speed (including time spent stopped) of 60km/h — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.7.157.91 (talk) 03:13, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
