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.

This is probably the nicest subway station in Toronto. At least it will be for a couple years until…read morethey add the York U extension. The ceilings are high, the decor is modern, and there is tons of space. Even when the station is packed you still feel like you have room to breathe. The convenience store here is an actual store that you can walk into, unlike the counter style stores at most stations.

Warden station brings back memories of being a teen. I learned that its bus terminal is to be…read moredemolished and revitalized for the next two years. I went to see it for the last time on its last day of operation, which was yesterday, November 30, 2024. The station feels the same. I rode the train on the Bloor-Danforth line (it's line 2 these days) from Chester heading eastbound. Even though I don't take the TTC often, my commuter habits and instincts haven't changed. I remembered that the platform at this station is in the centre for both eastbound and westbound trains. It truly felt like time stood still. The signage is the same. Gone are the payphones. Everything else looked the same. I headed downstairs to the bus terminal. It felt the same, but eerie. Most businesses have closed for good, except for Cafe on the Go and Bakery on the Go. I have always liked getting a snack before hopping on public transit. The patties and sausage rolls looked so good from these businesses. What was new to me was the next vehicle information. It was helpful knowing when the next bus was arriving. Yes, the bus terminal is dated. I liked the concept of seeing flashing lights on the At the Platform sign. You could keep warm in the terminal. Once you saw the lights flashing, you headed down the stairs to board your bus. Two buses that I took during my teen years were the following: - Warden 68. It heads north of St. Clair. I took it to get my written driver's licence. Across from that building was a Sears outlet. Both are long gone. - Markham 102. I boarded it with friends to eventually hit Markham Road and Kingston Road. My best friend's dad would pick us up and drive us to their home to hang out. I like that there is a distinction made with Warden 68 (it takes you north of St. Clair to Markham and back down to Warden station) and Warden 69 (it's runs south of St. Clair and back up to Warden station). Main Street station had the most confusing set of buses for Main 64. One was northbound and the other was southbound. Both were 64. It was and still is easy to board the wrong bus if you aren't paying attention. There are Presto turnstiles to tap and pay for your fare entering the station. I also saw a Presto self-serve reload kiosk. Since I was in the subway, I didn't need to use it. As a teen, I'd arrive at Warden and walk across the north parking lot to get to Warden Woods Mall. I was a mall kid and liked this one. It changed to become Warden Power Centre when I left the GTA and returned a few years later before it was demolished. It's now housing. I noticed that there's a south lot. As a teen, parking lots didn't mean much to be. They do now as an adult who drives and needs parking. I look forward to seeing what the new bus terminal looks like. Hopefully, it will be done on time in two years. I'm glad that I got to see everything and relive fond memories before it's rubble.

I've been hoping to post my own bit of nostalgic commentary, re: Warden Station and its closure, so…read moreYelp is a great platform for this! Warden Station opened in May 1968, and admittedly, over these past few years (especially these past few months), the need for a renovation had become more apparent -- yet the Spirit of that Station remained, as a terminus for us Scarberians to use and enjoy (well, sort of). The retailers who graced that Station provided ride-weary travellers with hot coffee, tea, samosas, bagels and other goodies, while waiting for their respective buses. And the clothing store and luggage shop, along with the Gateway place, all added to the overall Warden Station experience. My family and I moved to Scarborough in 1970, and as a car-free family, we used Warden Station regularly. At that time the station was still in its infancy, so it was a "lovely" terminus place to visit (It was the end of Line 2 at that time)! Of course, as a child my perspective was quite different than it is today -- yet the warm-and-fuzzy memories shall remain with me, forever, such as the many times I waited by the panoramic-style windows overlooking St. Clair Avenue East, with my Dad ... Back when Scarborough was a very different place! I visited Warden Station last Saturday (January 4th) for the last time, taking a few photos for "posterity" sake. Fare Thee Well, Warden Station! The New Warden Station shall provide greater accessibility for all commuters, with two elevators.

Ah, Unionville GO station. A decade ago, I took the GO train to and from downtown Toronto for work…read more Unionville is a stop along the Stouffville line. Milliken station is slightly closer to my home than Unionville. However, if I end up missing the last train for the evening, my next best bet would be to take the GO bus, which stops at Unionville station. Buses run all the time. Trains don't run on weekends. The parking lot gets extremely busy at rush hour. It's interesting seeing folks drive in like maniacs, park, and run like their lives depended on catching the train. It's both amusing and stressful. The parking lot is one of the larger ones for a GO station in the area. I rarely got a seat on the train during rush hour when I boarded here. I only got a seat when it was March Break and thought I had won the lottery. I also learned how to stand up and sleep on the train. It's a skill that I am still proud of to this day. This station has a cute building where you can purchase tickets. There are also washrooms. This location is ideal. It's by Kennedy and highway 407. So, if you need someone to pick you up, it's pretty easy to find this station. There's more retail development around the area since I was a GO commuter. I would estimate a five-minute drive, at most, from this station to the local plaza to eat and shop. You can walk it, but I wouldn't recommend it on a snowy day like today! (432)

Lots of free parking all around but may need to park further sometimes as this lot is busy. Since…read morethere is technically only one visible exit for each parking lot, some people run for their lives to get out of the parking lot as fast as possible to avoid the exit parking traffic. It is actually very stressful getting in and out of trying to pick someone up during rush hours. It will take a good 10 mins+ to just get out. You need all lot of patience as there are quite a few rude drivers out there. They really need extra stop signs for incoming traffic and extra exits. Whomever designed this place didn't think clearly with just one visible exit !! The go office is closed over the weekend so no washrooms are available. I could be wrong but I don't see a reload machine anywhere. You can buy a ticket , check, your balance or tap but no reload machine. There are two machine tickets booths - one near by the bus stops and one very the office that are self serve. Convenient but slow. Run for your lives!!

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.

The King and Queen cars get stuck in traffic more but come more often than the Carlton Car. I usually take the Carlton car from Landsdowne to the spadina / Bathurst area.

Downsview Park Station is one of the newest stations along Line 1 on the TTC. The name is confusing…read morebecause the previous Downsview Station was renamed Sheppard West. One of the unique features about this station is that it's connected to GO Transit, which is faster and more convenient. In some instances, it can be cheaper as well. For instance, to get from Downsview Park GO to Rutherford GO, it costs $0.27 and takes less than 10 minutes. A comparable trip on the TTC (to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre) would cost $3.00 and takes about 15 minutes. I find myself here frequently because it's walking distance to Scotiabank Pond and the sports facilities in that area. It makes for a convenient detour along my daily commute. The station is very clean and bright. However, because it's a bit out of the way, there's usually no one else here. One of the downsides to taking the GO train is that there are very few seats for anyone waiting for the train. Wifi is free.

It was confusing getting picked up since I exited the station at one end while my ride was waiting at the other. I had to go down the stairs, across the station and up the stairs on the other side. The second time I was at this station was because there was an incident on the Barrie line of the GO and everyone on the morning train was required to disembark and take the subway the rest of the way. Even though there was a great deal of people all getting off the train and going into the station at the same time there weren't any issues since the station is so huge and able to accommodate all the passengers.
