Continuing my tour of Toronto's metro, today we rode the train to St. Patrick station. St. Patrick…read moreis on the Yong-University Line (aka "Line 1") of the metro and is between Queen's Park (towards Vaughan) and Osgoode (towards Finch). The station is named for nearby St. Patrick's Church. It is located under University Avenue at Dundas Street and the station does feature a free wifi network. For me, it was quite close to Chinatown. As with several other stations, St. Patrick has a center platform which means that the doors of the train will open on the left. The station does have access for handicapped and I was able to ride an escalator from the platform level to the ticketing level and then stairs for me to the surface.

The blend of old-world charm and contemporary design is truly impressive. Inside, you will find a vibrant atmosphere with a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes.

My favourite is Alley Bubble Tea and Chocollata Brigadeiros gelato shop. They even have various sorbets and vegan cone! The spacious concourse is well-maintained and organized. It is an easy space to navigate. From Uniqlo to Sephora, the options are endless! Pro tip: if you see a long line up near the entrance by the % Arabica coffee shop , there is a good chance companies are giving away freebies!

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 you can dance to live music, but you'd have to fight with the ever moving crowd for space. It's a station where you can buy snacks for companionship while traveling. It's a station where millions of stories come and go. Just like "blue-onion".

It was really nice to travel in time and see how things were run not very long time ago. There were subway cars in the station for you to go inside, explore and take pictures.

Bay Street subway station is located on the northside of Bloor street west and west of Bay street…read more Bay station some entrances attached to buildings like 80 and 110 Bloor West but there's also one on Cumberland and one on east side of Belair south of Cumberland and the other is on the west side of Bay also south of Cumberland. This is a basically your stop for Yorkville between Bay and Avenue road. As far as proximity the two business interchange stations flank Bay station to the east and west (St. George, Bloor-Yonge) and they're not that far from one another. I had to actually use Bay station the other night as it's probably my least used station in the core. Both line 1 on the University or Yonge lines wasn't stopping at either Bloor station (St. George or Bloor-Yonge) due to a police investigation around 11pm on May 24th, 2019. Inconvenient right? It's a bit of a walk from Wellesley to Bay station but it had to be done. The only bus route connecting to this station is a transfer required board which is route 6 (Bay). The top of the route starts at Dupont and Davenport not that far from Casa Loma in fact it's not far from Dupont station. The route travels south along Davenport to Bay and south on Bay all the way to Queens Quay before turning left (east) where it eventually loops around at Lower Sherbourne by the FedEx downtown depot. On the Belair Street side entrance just next door is a business called DECIEM The Abnormal Beauty Company. They want you to know that their business is NOT BAY. Their signage kind of looks like Bay station but is not Bay. I guess they had so many people walk in by accident that they not play on that. Funny...

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.

It was full, mainly because it has reserved a number of spot for electric-charging vehicles. Instead, I parked on Broadview Avenue. I walked to the venue and passed by Broadview subway station twice. I have a lot of good memories of Broadview station. I used to live in the Beaches. My mom and I would often go grocery shopping on Sundays at the Chinatown at Broadview and Gerrard. We'd either take take the 501-504 streetcar combination to get there, or do the Main 64 bus to Main Street station, take the subway to Broadview, and then hop on the 504 or 505 streetcar heading south. I also took Cantonese classes in Chinatown. These routes were the norm for me on Saturdays. I then moved to taking Cantonese on Saturdays for high school credit. This school was near Spadina and Dundas Street West in the other Chinatown. I'd often take the 505 streetcar to Broadview, and take the subway and bus home. This station has been pretty meaningful in my younger days. I also ended up taking a number of bus routes that come in and out of this subways station. I had physical therapy appointments when I was an undergraduate student. The clinic was at Don Mills and Eglinton. The 100 Flemingdon Park bus got me right to the door. If I missed it, the 25 Don Mills bus was a good alternative, but I had a bit of walking to do. If I didn't feel like taking the subway between Broadview and Main Street, and I had time to kill, I'd take the 62 Mortimer bus. I kind of miss taking a bus because I was curious and had nothing better to do. I drive these days, so I don't have that opportunity. The subway entrance faces west on Broadview Avenue. I remember that this station has three levels with an elevator. It's wheelchair-accessible. I haven't been commuting on the TTC in ages. I really should ride public transit more, but I'm a suburb person these days. It's more convenient for me to drive or it would take me hours to get to and from home. It was nice to reminisce about countless visits to this subway station. I'm glad that it's still around. (196)

It's got a bunch of leaks in the roof which means the TTC usually has to put out bins to catch all the water when it rains or the snow/ice melts. There's an elevator which is great if you can't use the stairs or escalator and need another accessibility option. There's a tiny newsstand on the floor between the subway platform & the bus platform and there's the cool Ossington Dots art throughout the station (read the plaque to learn more about the piece).
