Guide to where the exits are in Toronto's subway system

The TTC Subway Rider Efficiency Guide is a wallet-sized guide to which car you should board on Toronto's subway system in order to be nearest to the exit when you reach your destination. I used to obsess over lining this up when I lived in Toronto, mentally recalling that York Mills' bus exit was at the south end of the platform while the Sheppard exit was at the north (looking at the guide now, this appears no longer to be true, so either my recollection is flawed or they moved the buses at York Mills during the major renovations there a decade ago). I once had a near-screaming-match with a good friend over which end of the platform we should stand at if we intended on debarking at Summerhill.

The Guide will settle these arguments once and for all. You can either order a very handy printed edition, or print, cut and fold your own from a PDF. I wish there was one of these for the London Underground, Docklands Light Rail and British Rail, but I suspect that such a guide would have the thickness of a phone-book.

Update: Alistair points out that The Way Out Tube Map (which can be had for two quid) does in fact show the location of every exit on every tube station platform.

Update 2: Adam sez, "The Tokyo Metro subway system has fanatically detailed maps showing exactly which car to ride in order to be closest to an exit or a transfer for another line. The linked page shows the transfers and exits at Otemachi Station (one of the most complex); every train platform has similar guides for each stop on a given line. It's in Japanese, but if you know the system at all, you can work things out by color."
