I was recently in the area to pick up food at Rudy. I parked on the street north of Danforth…read moreAvenue, parallel to it. I walked up Linnsmore Crescent and saw Greenwood subway station. Normally along the Bloor-Danforth subway line (it's called line 2 these days, but the former is far more meaningful), a subway station is on or steps away from the street after which it is named. Greenwood is an exception. Greenwood Avenue is a good block west of Linnsmore. I spent a couple of summers in this area. In grade 7, I broke away from taking Cantonese in the summertime to focus on fun activities, such as calligraphy and badminton. My mom felt that I was revolting. My reasoning was that I was taking Cantonese on Saturdays throughout the regular school year, so why not try something different? I won. Yay! Anyway, calligraphy and badminton were offered at Lakeview Secondary School, which was roughly south of Greenwood station. The school became Catholic a few years later, as I recently drove over to check it out. Greenwood station had one bus coming in and out of that station: Greenwood 31. I had the option of taking that bus down to Queen Street East, and then hopping on the 501 streetcar to get home. The problem was that this bus didn't come as often as the Coxwell 22 bus. Instead, I walked along Monarch Park to Coxwell and took that bus to get down to Queen Street East. It now has two routes coming in and out of the station: Greenwood 31A and 31B. The former goes down to Queen. The latter goes further south to Eastern. Buses run every 20 minutes on weekends. They seem to run every 13 minutes during weekdays, which is significantly better than when I needed it. Figures! Sadly, this station does not have an elevator to support accessibility. It does have escalators. Coxwell, the station to the east of Greenwood, is your best best for accessibility needs. The station looked pretty quiet when I was briefly passing by. I saw one person come out of the station. It looked nicely kept and clean from the outside. (35)

This is a pretty small subway station as stations go in Toronto. Therefore the bad TTC service is…read moreeven more poor here. I've had to catch a cab from the station a few times to get to a friend's house because the buses come so infrequently. The sad thing is, it's still more reliable to get down to Leslieville from here than trying to catch a streetcar from Yonge street.

Kennedy Station isn't exactly a destination...but if you're using Toronto's public transit,…read moreespecially heading east, or from the east, chances are you'll end up here. It's a major TTC hub that connects subway, GO Transit, and multiple bus routes. Not much to do here, and definitely not a place to hang out, but it works for what it is. There's a small convenience kiosk (outside the fare zone), so you can grab a snack, drink, or a magazine if needed. I hadn't been here in years, and when I approached a TTC employee to buy a day pass, she came off a little sharp at first. But once I explained I was unfamiliar with the updated system, she softened and was super helpful in getting me on my way. That made a difference. So, do I recommend it? Only in the sense that if it's part of your route, it'll get the job done. It's not fancy, but it's functional...and helpful people can make even a gritty station feel okay.

Pure chaos last night though this might be more to blame TTC for. Was heading on a Northbound train…read morefrom St. Andrews to Finch, but due to maintenance had re-routed from Union back Southbound and had to get off at St. George to then switch to another Bloor-Yongye line. Upon getting to St. George, the station was filled with people scrambling all around in different directions 3x more than usual, overheard a lot of the red-vested TTC help attendants getting pretty overwhelmed and tired of the same questions from commuters wondering when the next train would come and how the medical emergency that stopped the first train would be resolved. I think there's real opportunity to consider more service design into transportation in Toronto. This would ultimately prevent situations like these from happening. (Ie. More signs and clearer messaging to inform riders on statuses, map improvements, ACCESSIBILITY, etc.)

How do I review this station without letting my disdain for the TTC get in the way? Hmmm…read more.. How about I just tell you about the station? In case you don't know St. George (I like to call him San Jorge) is the patron saint of jolly old England lad (and lasses). Did you know if the other two saint stations not named St. Clair are also patron saints of Ireland and Scotland? That's right Saint Patrick (aka San Patrizio) and Saint Andrew (San Andreas). Now stay with me because this will make your mind explode if you haven't already fallen asleep... If you were to combine the flags of St. George (red cross over white), St. Andrew (white cross over blue) and St Patrick (red X over white) you get the Union Jack flag aka the flag of the United Kingdom? OK enough of the history BS. I made that all up... actually no I didn't I'm just making sure you haven't lost interest just yet while I play this shell game of writing things completely irrelevant to St. George. So this station is special in a sense that it is one of the main interchange stations in all of the TTC system. In rankings of importance it's right up there and probably 3rd just behind Union (first) and Bloor/Yonge (second) in my personal ranking system of things. I like ranking things don't ask me why but ya I consider this station 3rd. This station is physically on the north side of Bloor Street between Prince Arthur and Bloor directly behind the OISE building of U of T (252 Bloor W). There are 2 entrances/exits while one faces St. George itself and the other is at Bedford. This station is on 3 levels. Ground level is where you enter/exit, buy tokens and such. The next level down is the 1 line (yellow line) which runs on the Spadina/University side (Downsview endpoint) and the Yonge side (Finch endpoint). This line runs right through the core of downtown from Bloor south through Queens Park and down University Ave to Union station before turning back up Yonge Street going all the way up to Finch Ave. This line is basically known as the "north-south" line and has recently been given the designation as "1" in the TTC's elaborate naming system. The next level down is the level for access to the Bloor Danforth line also known as "2" or if you are into colors it can also be called the green line. This is essentially your east west line that runs from Kipling to Kennedy. Really though nobody here calls any of these lines here by colors. This isn't Boston and the numbers thing is new but this isn't New York either. We don't have enough lines to be getting into letters either. Let's just say "3" should be part of "2" and "4" shouldn't even exist. San Jorge station is an important station because as far as interchange stations goes this is one of them and it can get very busy here.

A couple of Saturdays ago, I revisited Victoria Park subway station for the first time in eons. I…read morelived in the Beaches growing up. I'd often hit this station and walk over to Shoppers World and Fabricland, a store on the Danforth, across from this mall. Fabricland isn't there anymore. I was quite the crafty kid. I loved going there to get supplies. I made everything from an embroidered pencil case, to a mural for a Chinese school competition that I managed to win. Good times! I liked when we were dismissed from high school earlier. After school, I'd take the Main 64 bus to Main Street subway and take the train eastbound to Victoria Park. I would then hang out at the mall or Fabricland, or both. Marks and Spencer. Coles. Eaton's. Zellers. Those were the stores that I frequented the most at Shoppers World. All of them are long gone. This subway station is small, but it has everything that you need. It has trains that run along the Bloor-Danforth line (line 2). Naturally, when I got to the station, there was a trespasser at one of the stations west of it, so trains went as far as Woodbine heading westbound. With my luck, this incident was cleared and I was able to get to Chester station without transferring to a shuttle bus. I rarely took any buses out of this station. The main one heading north-south is Victoria Park 24. It actually goes north of Steeles Avenue these days. It's cheaper paying with a Presto card to ride the TTC. You save a nickel on adult fare than if you paid with a credit card or cash. It may seem like nothing, but it does add up over time. I tapped and walked through the entrance. I then walked down a bunch of stairs to catch my train. I find Presto efficient. I kind of miss TTC tokens and tickets for nostalgic reasons only. Parking is free on weekends and holidays. The parking lot is Green P, so you can use the app to pay for parking on a weekday. The parking lot is small, but I managed to find a parking spot for small vehicles. I was happy. I saw a convenience stall where you can buy candy, drinks, a newspaper, and more in the station. It felt like old times. Same goes for the payphone in front of the station's entrance. I liked returning to this station. It brought back a lot of memories and created new ones. (472)

Bloor-Yonge subway station. It's a major subway interchange between lines 1 (Yonge-University) and…read more2 (Bloor-Danforth). I grew up knowing these subway routes without numbers. It was the Yonge-University-Spadina and Bloor-Danforth lines. You then had the Scarborough LRT (rest in transit peace) and the Sheppard line. As much as I like numbers, I'm putting myself in the shoes of a visitor. Which would be more meaningful? I'm not sure. What I think is that this subway station may feel overwhelming to a newbie. It's always busy. The craziness is at its peak during rush hour. Everyone needs to walk fast and get somewhere. I feel like it's a stampede to a certain extent. As someone who often dropped by this station growing up, it wasn't confusing. I recently took the TTC to get to this station on line 2. It's a shared platform between the eastbound and westbound trains when you arrive on line 2. I had to exit to get onto Bloor Street East. The exit that I'm used to faces Yonge Street. I used to visit the Toronto Reference Library across the street often when I was in high school and university. I used this exit to reminisce. There are a bunch of ways to get in and out of this station. Going home, I entered from Bloor Street East through the Hudson's Bay Centre. I don't really know if that's the correct name of the underground shopping concourse. Hudson's Bay is gone, which is eerie. We have Eaton's Centre without Eaton's. Hey, why not Hudson's Bay Centre without Hudson's Bay? I spent hours walking around the concourse as a student. There used to be a Felix and Norton. It smelled so good. I loved cookies, especially freshly baked ones. I still do! I can still picture the paper transfer dispensers with the red round button. They are long gone. There are lots of PRESTO kiosks and gates instead. One of the gates did not recognize my PRESTO card. Luckily, I moved to a different one and I was fine. Signage is clear to get to the right subway line. There are also TTC employees ready to help you, which I liked. There are four floors to this station. I took a combination of stairs and escalators while I was here to move between two floors. There are elevators for those who need to use them, but I can't comment on how effective they are. Most major TTC subway stations have washrooms. This station does. I have never had the need to use the women's. I arrived at this station at roughly 11:30 am on a Monday. I left the area roughly 2.5 hours later. Trains were running on time. I managed to get a seat both ways. It was a good time to be a commuter. My cell phone worked fine on the platform. It was cool. It was nice returning to this station. I grew up as a commuter living in the Beaches. It was nice to return to those roots for a brief period before I got to Victoria Park station, hopped in my car, and headed to the suburbs. (40)

My Spanish friend called this subway station with her cute accent that sounded like "blue onion"…read more And that's how i come to think of Bloor-Yonge. Lol It's a vibrant station where people transfer from all directions. It's a station where you will go up and down the stairs to get to the trains.

It's a station where millions of stories come and go. Just like "blue-onion".
