The newest station on line 1 north of the Wilson Yards and currently the most northern station on…read morethe Spadina side of line 1 also the terminus station on the west side as well. The previous terminus (Wilson) has the multiple parking lots and much more parking since it was the previous end of the line just on the other side of the 401 at the much busy Yorkdale complex. Downsview station located at the south east corner of Allen and Sheppard is where Sheppard makes that dramatic detour around the Downsview airport runway near Chesswood. This station does have a north side entrance as well as a kiss and ride pickup area with actual parking spots instead of a rotary type hub like Finch or Kipling. Access to the parking and drop off area is accessible at the access road just east of Allen on the south side of Sheppard and access to just the parking lot is also available on the east side of Allen south of Sheppard. The parking lot at Downsview seems rather small but with room to grow if needed. Now that Downsview will no longer be the terminus station for this leg of line 1 after the extension to Vaughan is complete it's yet to be determined if more parking is even required. The station is has a large surface area for buses on both sides of the bus depot. The bus depot services quite a few bus routes from here: 84 Sheppard West begins west of Sheppard station (at Yonge) along Sheppard and crosses at Allen while remains on Sheppard to Weston road where it loops back around at Bradstock and Rivalda before heading back east. 101 Downsview Park is a very short route that simply goes around the Sheppard hump turns left on John Drury to Carl Hall road into the park. 104 Faywood runs between Downsview and Wilson stations. It takes a route from Wilson from Ansford to Faywood which turns into Wilmington north of Sheppard to Finch Ave, goes west to Dufferin and then turns to Kennard and down to Wilson Heights and then back to Sheppard to Downview station. 105 Dufferin North runs into Vaughan and requires additional fare when north of Steeles avenue. This route runs north on Dufferin and loops at Confederation parkway and then east on Rutherford road before turning back south again. 106 York University runs west along the Sheppard hump and then north on Sentinel road to York University main campus in a clockwise direction meeting The Pond road at six o'clock and Ian Macdonald before turning back to Sentinel going south. 107 Keele North has many variants but for the most part the 107C is the main route which makes its way west along the Sheppard hump through the industrial area near Tuscan Gate toe Keele and then north as far as Teston road in Vaughan. Same as the 105 additional fare is required north of Steeles avenue. 108 Downsview main run 108B runs west on the Sheppard hump to Arleta avenue and up Driftwood north of Finch to Strong Court and then briefly along Jane street before turning right back onto Driftwood again before heading south bound. 117 Alness runs up Allen/Dufferin to a dedicated bus roadway that runs parallel and north of Finch Ave to Alness up to Steeles and bakc down Dufferin. This route around the roadway and Alness runs clockwise before 3pm and counter clockwise after 3pm. As for the train platform it's long and wide with an arched roof. The trains on line 1 of course are wider than the Bloor/Danforth line 2 but the design of this station lends to more space and feels much more open than a majority of the older stations in the TTC system.

I do appreciate that this station has multiple access points across campus, especially since has one close to the Seneca Polytechnic buildings as well. It's roomy and has elevators and escalators in addition to stairs to the train platform. There are numerous machines to load your Presto card. There are a decent number of gates, but it's a real piss when they malfunction. Last it happened to me, I approached a second time and was let through; and yet, when I boarded my bus at VMC station, I was charged $4.00 instead of the $3.30 I should have had deducted at York University station. Never had problems like this with tokens. I don't use the subway a lot, but my taxes went into thus system, and I'm not overly impressed. Could be worse, I guess. Ans since it's the only one we've got, yes, I'll be using it again.

I was at York University, my alma mater, over a week ago to attend CRAM. I got a chance to wander…read morearound and look at the new (to me) York University TTC station. The station is smack in the middle of the Common area. There are north and south entrances. It's perfect. I like the whole look of the station from afar. The two entrances look futuristic with UFO-like roofs. They are attached by a wavy section. I just love everything about it. It's pleasing to my eyes. I didn't need to take the subway anywhere that night. I may try it sometime. Parking after 6 pm on campus at the York Lanes lot on weekdays is $8 and is good till 6 am the following day. It's not bad to take a break driving downtown by simply parking here and taking the subway. (128)

Finch station is usually decently clean, with underground paths leading to bus terminals and passenger pickups. The underground paths have a couple of Tim Hortons so you can grab your drink and go (no seating area). The passenger pickup area is also quite nice. There are a few benches that you can sit on while you wait, and a spacious lot outside for your pickup driver to park while waiting.

Over the years, I have spent a ton of time at Finch subway station, mainly during my undergraduate…read moreyears. These days, I visit the passenger pickup-drop-off area to pick up and drop off friends. For four years, I commuted to both York University's main and Glendon campuses through Finch station. It was easier to get a seat if I simply took the 53 and 60 buses to and from this station, rather than getting off at Yonge and Steeles, and feeling like a sardine in any bus that had room for me. Going home from Glendon, I'd take either the 124 or 162 bus to Lawrence station, and then take it northbound to Finch. Sure, there were times where the 53 Steeles East buses, both regular and express, were running late and were packed at Finch station. I waited for a while on the platform for a free bus, but it always took me home, no matter how rough the day felt. One time, I had left my wallet on the subway. It was highly unusual for me. It was pink. My heart sank. I was at Finch and decided to go back to Lawrence to see if I could find it. Nothing. I reported it being lost with a TTC employee at Lawrence. He contacted someone at Finch station and said that my wallet was there. I was relieved! I was a broke student that I'm sure no one wanted my plastic-looking wallet with practically nothing in it. Anyway, Finch station has a special place in my heart thanks to an honest person returning my wallet and my being able to fetch it there. Finch station has public washrooms. I had to use it once and it was decent. I do like the passenger pickup-drop-off (so glad that the name changed from kiss-and-ride) area. I never have a problem parking, waiting for my friend to arrive, or dropping said friend off here. I'm in. I'm out. There's a set of traffic lights that makes turning easy. I'm happy! I have parked here a couple of times on weekends. It's free. It helps when I don't feel like paying for parking downtown and I know that I'm not buying a lot of stuff while down there. I did it another time to see a concert. Although convenient to take the subway down to Scotiabank Arena, it makes for a long commute for me heading home. I'd rather take my car. I do like this station, which is the last top on on the Yonge portion of the Yonge-University subway line. It was nice to recently pass by and reminisce. (361)

If you're mall hopping the GO bus is definitely a better way to travel between the two malls. It costs more than taking a TTC bus (GO bus fare is $5.30 and TTC is $3.25) but the bus is considerably more comfortable with large cushioned seats that face the front like in a fancy tour bus. It is also much quieter (especially during the weekdays) since the crowd is older without kids (the bus isn't made to accommodate large, bulky strollers or walkers). There is only one stop in between (York Mills) and you don't have to transfer to another bus. So if you're willing to pay a little more for a peaceful, comfortable, quick ride then you'll definitely want to take the GO bus. At the Scarborough Towne Centre the station is right across from the TTC station in front of the mall entrance. There's self service kiosks where you can purchase your tickets but be warned that that the machines are a little slow so get there a little early. The machines take credit debit and cash (bills $20 and lower). At Yorkdale Shopping Centre the station entrance is next to Tim Hortons: there are kiosks as well as ticket booths with real people. 1-888-GET-ON-GO

The station helps add to the character of the immediate surrounding area of heritage of the unique (albeit small) city centre. It has GO train service, and recently they've added all-day, 2-way service on weekdays during business hours which is great. The GO bus terminal is right beside with several routes offered. The train station serves as a VIA rail station and you can get to places like Montreal from this station. Tip: Closer to the bus station is The Village Bake Shop, which is a great place to get coffee, baked goods and such. You'd need to set aside a few extra minutes to go on a run there if you were getting on the train however. One frustrating thing, and for all GO stations for that matter, are the ridiculously slow ticket machines. There's a stress that cannot be compared to anything else when you hear the train rolling in and the machine takes half a minute just to bring up 'Union' station on the search. Practically a couple minutes just to get your ticket.

I use this station fairly often, as it has good direct connections to downtown Toronto. You can get…read moreregular buses to Union Station, Yorkdale, and York Mills among other places, and the train service is both ways on weekdays, shuttling you quickly and smoothly into the big city. Looking forward to it being evenings and weekends if that cargo bypass ever gets built! Anyhow -- the station is well organized and has elevators for those who aren't able to use stairs, and ample signage so commuters don't get lost. I recommend using your Presto card instead of the ticket machines if you are able, because the machines are super clunky. That's everybody though, not just this station. There's lots of free surface parking if you need it, but Brampton transit has many buses that go to Brampton Bus Terminal/Brampton GO so you can ditch the car entirely if you want! The area has a lot of good shops around it, but there are a few dodgy bits, so keep aware of your surroundings.

This review is for the new Union Go Bus Terminal Hub…read more Bring back the old station!!! The new station is large and modern, capable of accommodating more people, but those are the only benefits. Aside from being a confusing maze with buses now on 2 levels, it has automatic doors in front of each bus that open only when the bus is there. At least, thats what its supposed to do. I usually take the Go train, but due to covid, the train has stopped its service and has now become a bus. I've taken this new bus route a few times already. Today, I arrived to the bus 2 minutes early and the automatic door was CLOSED. I was jumping up and down, trying to make eye contact with the bus driver on the other side. 1 person the bus stared right at me, as well as one employee on my side. No one said anything to the bus driver or me. 2 minutes went by and the bus drove away without me. this would not have happened at the old station, where there is no door between the bus and the passenger. Now I have to waste an extra hour of my life for the next bus. I plan to use this hour to warn others about this station and make my complaints. I regret not yelling and banging on the door like most other Torontonians.
