Last Friday, we were planning on attending a play at a theater downtown and decided to take the train in from Amherst. I checked the schedule on line to figure which time would work best for us. The train left at exactly the listed time & got us to our stop right on time. Coming home was exactly the same. I'm not sure if during peak periods it's like this. The only complaint was the lack of cleanliness. Our train car had spilled beverages on seats and trash all over. The ride home was better. I wouldn't hesitate to do this again. So much easier to driving downtown and paying crazy parking fees. The train ride is $2 and only $1 for seniors. 2023-87

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)

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)

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.

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...

The PATH connects underground at both 1 and 4 King West.

On the return loop from Church instead of running back to King it runs west on Wellington (which is a one way west) to York before turning right and east again on King street towards King station. 97 Yonge runs along Yonge mostly as a supplement to the subway with a few diversions along Bay near Queens Quay. 503 streetcar (Kingston Road) runs west from the Binham Loop (Kingston and Vic Park) west along Kingston Road to Queen and then south on King after the Don River fork and continues west along King then south on Church and west on Wellington before looping up York and east on King towards King Station again. 504 streetcar runs between Dundas West and Broadview station south along Roncesvalles, King and Broadview, north to Broadview station and back.
