Tip: Taking the 510 streetcar gets you to Chinatown, The Well, and Harbourfront. It's cheaper than…read moreparking at any of these places! I recently took the line 2 (Bloor-Danforth) subway from Victoria Park to Spadina. I was heading to a Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre for a work event. It was cheaper to simply take public transportation down to the venue than shelling out for parking nearby. Spadina station holds a special place in my heart. I grew up taking the TTC with my mom to hit Chinatown at Spadina and Dundas Street West. Back then, it was the Spadina 77 bus that ran along Spadina Avenue to and from this subway station. When you leave any line 2 train, you can still see a bus image next to the station name on the platform. I also managed to see several pay phones on the subway platform, which threw me back. In my head, I had Spadina Bus, a song by The Shuffle Demons, playing on repeat as I was at this station. A classic! I may need to find the video version to reminisce about the original 77 bus. Spadina is a subway hub. I went up a set of stairs from line 2 to catch the 510 Spadina streetcar. Back in November 2024, this streetcar wasn't running. Instead, there were 510 buses. Well, I got to ride the streetcar at long last. It was waiting for me at the station. I had no problem finding a seat and taking it down to Bremner Boulevard. I then walked over to Rogers Centre. It was convenient and easy. After the game, it was weird seeing three 510 streetcars heading northbound i a cluster as I walked towards Spadina Avenue. When I got to the streetcar stop, I waited a good fifteen minutes before the next streetcar came. Some things never change. I don't get TTC schedules. Never did. Never will. This subway station is wheelchair-accessible. I saw an elevator as I was heading to the streetcar platform. This station also connects you to line 1 (Yonge-University-Spadina). I remember transferring from line 2 to line 1 as an undergraduate student. I took the subway northbound to Yorkdale to shop at the mall and hang out there. Good times. It was cool being back at this station. Some things have changed, but there are remnants from my past that prompt fond memories. (170)

Spadina while technically being an interchange station between the 1 and 2 lines is a LOOONG walk…read moreto get from one line to another. Unless you want the exercise it doesn't really make sense time-wise to change lines at Spadina versus changing stations at St. George which is one platform on top of another with only one set of steps to really separate you. Spadina's Bloor platform has Walmer Road as the west exit while the east exit up one level takes you to the street car platform which is indoors (no transfer required) for the 510 Spadina line that goes southbound to Harbourfront. Up and down Spadina ave the dedicated street car platform splits the streets north and south bound directions. There are fare purchase systems for TTC/Presto on these street platforms but it's not like they're gated or anything like that. I've seen so many people get on without necessarily tapping or paying unless they had a transfer already... hard to say and none of my business. Still, it seems that this is one of those locations if you're looking to avoid paying it would be as simple as just getting on the back doors. The new longer street cars build by Bombardier run on this line.

But this is also the path for the Yonge bus line. There is no free WiFi and no customer washrooms.

Whenever I happened to go to this station it seems strange that they decided to go al fresco with this open roof design. There aren't that many stations that aren't either covered or underground so it's almost strange to see that this station is as it is. The thing about Davisville is it's the closest station to the TTC HQ as well. You'd think they'd make it less humble than it is but no frills I suppose. There's 4 bus routes that are transferable or connect to Davisville and they're: 14 - Glencairn 11 - Bayview 28 - Bayview South 97 - Yonge The 14 runs west from Davisville along Chaplin to Bathurst and heads west along Glencairn crossing the other side of Line 1 at Glencairn station continuing west past Marlee and Dufferin and turns south on Lansdown and west along Tycos before turning north on Caledonia and running back east along Glencairn back towards Davisville. The 11 runs east on Davisville to Bayview and turns north and does a turn near Sunnybrook hospital and continues north through the Bridal Path area and crosses the Sheppard Line at Bayview station and continues north past Finch to Steeles before turning around. The 28 runs east on Davisville and south on Bayview on the east side of Mt Pleasant cemetery through Leaside and south along the windy part of Bayview by the Don Valley and towards the Evergreen Brick Works at the east side of Rosedale. The 97A follows Yonge to York Mills from Davisville. The 97B follows the same route as A but also goes as far south as Queens Quay and the 97C goes as north as Steeles.
