522 Exhibition West was a Toronto streetcar route run by the TTC for events at Exhibition Place, including the Canadian National Exhibition. It operated from 1966 to 1986, starting at Dundas West station, heading south on Roncesvalles, east on King Street, then south on Dufferin Street to the Dufferin Gates at Exhibition Place. The service began when the Bloor–Danforth line opened in 1966 and was originally called Dundas Exhibition; it was renamed Exhibition West in 1980 and given the route number 522.

In 1986 the TTC ended 522 and replaced it with 93 Exhibition West, a seasonal event service. The 93 later became 193 Exhibition Rocket in 2002 as a branded express service. A similar event-only route, 521 King Exhibition (now 521 Exhibition East), also served the CNE during major events.

In 2018 the 193 service ended during the CNE, since Dufferin Station gained elevator access. Later that year the TTC started the 929 Dufferin express, running from the Dufferin Gate Loop to Dufferin Station and on to Wilson, though it is not a non-stop express.
