I have been checking out the day passes and weekly passes in the Toronto area. I still think I will get a car, but I think that it will be very useful to know about the public transportation as well. I do not see myself driving in the city center.
Anyway, I saw that the day pass is about $10.75, which is not that bad. Just need to really be in the need of it. The one time fee is $3 which with the current exchange rate is pretty much the same as here. Well without the exchange rate can wary quite a bit for that to change as there are different prices in different cities. I think that the current one in Helsinki area at the moment is under 3€ (2,5-2,75).
I also saw that there should be Ikea and Wal-Mart quite near by, within 5 km radious. Not going to be carrying lots of stuff in my hands at first, so I will be renting a car as soon as possible. Might even rent it for the first few days. Then I think I will be checking out where can I buy or lease a car. It should not be too hard as there are quite a lot students in Toronto area. So there should be some selling as they are moving out and a year from now there should be some moving in and looking for a car.
I have my internet connection chosen, ready for me to have an address where to order it. I will also have my phone line from the same company. I am so going to be missing Finland in a sense that I already have had two appartments where there was free internet. Also I have used a cable + mobile stick with under 30€ per month. Now I see that the price for the phone and internet is going to be at least lil' over $100... (That's about 75-80€.)
