My parents live in Richmond Hill and I live in Toronto, so when I go back home to visit on the weekend, I frequently take the Line 1 TTC up to Finch. 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. read more

Finch Subway Station - Passenger pickup area - Public Transportation Near Me - North York, Ontario

Over the years, I have spent a ton of time at Finch subway station, mainly during my undergraduate years. 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) read more

Finch is conveniently located as the final/first stop of the line 1 subway connection from downtown - GTA. The subway station is relatively clean and has many amenities including maintained bathrooms, gift shops and the much needed Tim Horton's for a commute. There are friendly staff to help you find your way out to your linking bus ( bus station is just outside) and usually always a musician or two playing which adds a little hop to your step! The drop and go has sufficient parking spots if needed , otherwise there's many long term parking spots just across the road. The area is also full of many eateries and boba places, so if you're stranded here for a while there's plenty to keep you busy! read more

Finch station is growing into a homeless shelter, there is a homeless person on nearly every bench. Considering it is a hub and quite a busy station it is quite dilapidated and dirty. There needs to be some solution to the amount of displaced people who have taken refuge in the subway, sometimes I don't feel safe. read more

2.5 Star Starting from January 01, 2012, Parking no longer free on weekday after 3 pm... As my Yelp Friend was wondering why the gate was not opened on a weekday evening, if you put in $2, then you can park here. Booooooo read more

This was my very first time riding the subway solo after 5 months (I know, I'm a chicken) so I was a little apprehensive. I just followed the crowds double checking with the signs that I was going the right way. I made it from the bus to the subway train platform and while I was reading the map (my face must have shown my uneasiness and uncertainty) one of the staff approached me and asked if I needed assistance. He was very helpful and talked me through the entire procedure of switching subways and getting on to my final bus. I should have gotten his name so that I could share my experience with his supervisor but all I could think of was getting home without getting lost. So if you are the kindly gentleman with the warm smile who works at the Finch station who saved this damsel in distress, thank you. 3 stars for the station 5 stars for the staff Ave 4 stars read more

Finch Subway Station - Front of the station. - Public Transportation Near Me - North York, Ontario

This is a terminal station... I'm usually here when I'm heading to / coming back from downtown. Or using their parking when I'm in Korea town. There is a small shop if you want to buy tickets, a presto cards, or grab a quick bite. There is a WiFi here, but its hit or miss. Ads everywhere. read more

Finch has much in common with Kipling station my local station. Finch is the terminus station on the Yonge line and the most northerly station of all until the Vaughan extension is completed that will go to Highway 7 and Jane. This station being an "end of the line" type station like Kipling services a much greater area than just the surrounding neighborhood in that some of the ridership includes individuals from the 905 area north of Steeles. Another factor of Finch being at the end of the line is that they have a lot of parking. Before when the TTC Metropass included parking at the station it perhaps was even more crowded than before. Just like Kipling station this parking lot fills up regardless that there's a cost involved or not. The daily cost is the same, 5 dollars in the morning and a reduced 2 dollars after 3pm. There is no overnight parking after 2am to 5am. The parking for Finch is divided into 2 lots east and west. The west lot entrances are on the west side of Yonge north of Hendon or on Hendon. This irregularly shaped parking lot bends where the softball diamonds are and extends all the way west to Talbot road. The eastern parking lot is on the side of the bus platforms which is at the north east intersection of Bishop and Yonge. The entrance for the parking lot is actually a block east off of Willowdale avenue on the north side of Bishop. The passenger pickup or "Kiss and Ride" circle (just like Kipling) is a circular building where cars can wait to meet individuals since you are not allowed to drive into the actual station where the bus platforms are. This structure is on the west side of Yonge with entrances to the circle going south on Yonge (to the right) or there is another entrance by the west parking lot entrance just to the right of that off Hendon. The driving direction in this circle is one way clockwise only. If you park in facing the building at one of the few spots you need to drive straight through the "inner circle" and you will come out facing south to go either left or right on Hendon. The TTC station structure itself is between Finch and Bishop on the east side of Yonge behind the buildings that face Yonge. There are bus platforms on both the east side and west side of the building. There are also GO buses at this station as well as other out of town buses that have their own platforms at the north east corner of Yonge and Bishop. The taxi line is on the east side outside the station on Bishop Ave. Buses: 36 Finch West - A very long route basically straight along Finch and all the way west to Etobicoke towards Humber College 39 Finch East - Another long straight route going east to Scarborough to Neilson road in Malvern 42 Cummer - This bus goes up Yonge and travels east along Cummer which turns into McNicoll to Kennedy 53 Steeles East - This bus runs north to Steeles and then east all the way to Markham road. Some of the variant bus routes loop around Oasis Blvd or Tapscott. 60 Steeles West - This bus like the 53 has several variances of routes but basically goes up Yonge and west on Steeles. The furthest west this bus can go is as far as the 427/407 interchange area in northern Etobicoke 125 Drewry - Sort of like the 42 but instead of going east on Cummer it goes west on Drewry (same street really) and passes Bathurst going through Don Lake Gate and does a large counter clockwise loop around Antibes which is a horseshoe shaped crescent turning left on Torresdale and then back onto Antibes and returning east along Drewry again. With the number of parking spots (over 3200), bus routes and being the most northern subway station serving connections to GO and VIVA it's understandable that by the time the southbound 1 line hits stations like Eglinton or St. Clair before Bloor that the trains are packed during rush hour even more so when passing Sheppard-Yonge since the Don Mills line collects even more passengers going southbound in the morning. read more

Here be Dragons! ..... The end of the line. Living in TO for 5 years I've been to Finch a number of times but never really strolled around the area. A lot of it feels like Suburbia but with some ethnic pockets to make it a little less cookie cutter. The station itself is pretty awful. It seems like a big schlep to get from subway to the buses and the whole place is GREY. If you live in Toronto in the winter, the last thing you want is grey decor. read more

I have to review this Subway Station for one reason only... The washrooms here used to be so disgusting, that I've had to leave the station to do my business and then had to re-enter (thank god for GTA Weekly Passes!) But more recently, they've completely renovated the washrooms here, and I must say, its been a few months, and it's still clean(ish). You used to be able to smell the bathrooms from the Lotto Dealer (which is quite far) But now, you can easily use the washroom and not fear any STI's or other nasty diseases! Way to go TTC! Next, please renovate the Bloor-Yonge washroom! read more

One of the most convenient subway stations in GTA area. It connects to the North American Center which saves time for people who work in the building and also a good pathway to other locations above ground. Also finch terminal provides easy access to YYZ airport on a single ride. read more

As the terminal station, you would expect the TTC to make some improvements to it. Well, the washrooms at this station are always filthy with toilet paper strewn all over the floor and you can imagine what it smells like. Two perks: there are two Tim hortons in this station which I come to regularly before heading off for work. The lines are always long but their service is speedy and so the wait time isn't that terrible. The temperature also feels ten degrees hotter in the station than the outside (not that great for the summer). read more

As a Terminal Station you think they would make this station the be all and end all of the TTC's mighty mighty stations. Parking is available all around the station which used to be free....but now you have to pay $5 via change or credit card. Please do not be one those people who forget this and then the people behind you have to back up their cars and let you out and you will end up doing the drive of shame. #firstworldproblems If you want too, you can park underground at the Xerox building for $20 a day and your car can be warm and comfy. In the station itself, it has 2 Timmys stores, some flower shops, and conveniece stores. You will always get a seat when you are leaving from this station which is always a big bonus. Shops and restaurants are connected to the station if you are hungry for booster juice, Sollys, Pumpernickles etc. read more

I think this major hub should look much better than it does right now. It's generally dimly lit & old looking. Thank goodness the washrooms have been renovated. They are not pristine but a major improvement from before. There's an escalator by the washrooms & soon as you go up them you used to be able to smell the most vile smell in the world. But that's gone now. There's a florist, a BMO atm, Tim Horton's & a small clothing shop here as well. This place could look amazing if they renovated the whole thing. read more

An old lady with white hair who is a staff member of this station was extremely rude!!! I was trying to ask the way to the bus terminal but she yelled at me as reply !! Want to complain her so bad! read more

I am starting a new job in Vaughn and I will do anything to avoid Finch station in my commute. It's physically depressing, lacking in clear signage and the tunnel to find your exit is unheated and dirty. The lottery / convenience store staff on the main level are rude and greedy, the toilets are vile and the experience of making a transfer is generally stressful. :-( read more

Bicycle riders be warned. You're bike will be threatened by bike thieves . Had my Trek bicycle stolen today from Finch station. Obviously cable cutters were used to cut the lock and steal my bicycle. If you do bike here, seriously please lock your bike up with multiple locks. Cant believe some one would do such a thing (and steal such an outdated, "worthless" bike) read more

The main perks of this station are the small shops, the tim Hortons and the washroom but those aren't too special. The design bother me given the distance between the trains and bus bay read more

My first time buying lotto tickets from the kiosk in this terminal was horrible. I went first to redeem my winning lotto tickets from the guy and he threw the my lotto tickets at me that it almost fell off the counter. I responded by say "That was rude" he didn't even apologize. Then I went back because I forgot I had scratch tickets to redeem and was then serviced by a lady. I was thinking thank goodness I won't have the rude guy again. Well, she was exactly the same. I had $5.00 winnings and wanted to redeem by getting more scratch tickets. I didn't see any $2 in the case so I asked she showed me and just grabbed any for me. I then wanted a $3 and she said "do you want to pick or does it matter?" Before I could respond I said she grabbed one for me and threw it at me and closed the lotto case. I said "yes I did want to pick". Then just decided to take what she threw at me because 2 more people were behind me. They are RUDE!!!!!!!!!!! RUDE!!!!!!RUDE. Who the hell do they think they are to throw tickets at me. I may look young but it does not mean to treat me with disrespect. read more
