Default Toronto Subways

Hello,

Just wondering if it's possible to listen to the Toronto Subway system?

I was under the impression this was impossible, due to proprietary trunking
/ security functions of the TTC underground radio system. Yet, I read a post
on the Yahoo scanner site a while ago and was told not only was listening to
the subway possible, it's very easy - provided you're on the platforms /
trains. (Or very close to a station)

So, I have no idea what to believe except radio is radio. Unless totally
encrypted, a full coverage receiver should be able to hear them. Other TTC
stuff is easy, but the trains themselves I've yet to monitor.

Any ideas?
