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.

It's clearly signed and it's clear to passengers where to go if they want to exit the station or go to the passenger pick up/drop off area; or, if they want to take TTC bus to their destination.

San Andreas station as I refer to it is named after the church in the area which was named after…read morethe patron saint of Scotland so you know it's not crap. The church is actually an entire block west of the main intersection of where this station is situated which is King and University. There are entrances to the platforms that I know of through the north side below 200 King and the east side of University right on the north east corner as well. While this station is also on King in order to there not to be any confusion since both King street stations are only 2 stops apart only one was called "King" and the other named after this church a block away from the actual station. Misnomer? It could have been called King West such as the example of Eglinton, Eglinton West and St. Clair and St. Clair West but for the sake of consistency no, this station has been named after the church. I'm not going to lose sleep off this, I'm just saying. Also if you follow the whole patron saint and trinity of flags that create the Union Jack as mentioned in my review of San Jorge you'd know that you can't have San Patrizio and San Jorge honored without also honoring San Andreas. There's the "come in threes" SET that simply cannot be broken here. This trinity must stay intact and in order to do so you must name this station after the church that is *cough* a block away. During rush hour what would you expect? All the University Ave offices at King are nearby so this place would get flooded. It's one stop away from Union as well think about that... Most people that are GOing it are probably just walking and mitigating the total traffic this station could get. Considering the real KING station is closer to the big 4 bank towers they would get potentially even more traffic AND Union is about equidistant to that station as well. The King streetcar 504 runs along this stretch as well so you can transfer from a ride on the streetcar to this station or the real King too. The 504 runs from Dundas West (another WEST named station) down Roncesvalles to King and all the way east to Parliament to Queen and up Broadview to Broadview station on the east side of the Don Valley.

Located right in downtown Brampton, and it's great that they still have three fairly large (free)…read moreparking lots. The station helps add to the character of the immediate surrounding area of heritage of the unique (albeit small) city centre. It has GO train service, and recently they've added all-day, 2-way service on weekdays during business hours which is great. The GO bus terminal is right beside with several routes offered. The train station serves as a VIA rail station and you can get to places like Montreal from this station. Tip: Closer to the bus station is The Village Bake Shop, which is a great place to get coffee, baked goods and such. You'd need to set aside a few extra minutes to go on a run there if you were getting on the train however. One frustrating thing, and for all GO stations for that matter, are the ridiculously slow ticket machines. There's a stress that cannot be compared to anything else when you hear the train rolling in and the machine takes half a minute just to bring up 'Union' station on the search. Practically a couple minutes just to get your ticket.

I use this station fairly often, as it has good direct connections to downtown Toronto. You can get…read moreregular buses to Union Station, Yorkdale, and York Mills among other places, and the train service is both ways on weekdays, shuttling you quickly and smoothly into the big city. Looking forward to it being evenings and weekends if that cargo bypass ever gets built! Anyhow -- the station is well organized and has elevators for those who aren't able to use stairs, and ample signage so commuters don't get lost. I recommend using your Presto card instead of the ticket machines if you are able, because the machines are super clunky. That's everybody though, not just this station. There's lots of free surface parking if you need it, but Brampton transit has many buses that go to Brampton Bus Terminal/Brampton GO so you can ditch the car entirely if you want! The area has a lot of good shops around it, but there are a few dodgy bits, so keep aware of your surroundings.

But free parking from 9:30 AM is a no brainer for me if I need to go downtown for lunch... Finch Station though more convenient but free parking is not until after 3 pm! Of course, Don Mills has covered parking, this is good for both summer and winter as my car would never be boiling hot or covered in a blanket of snow. Being right next to Fairview Mall also really convenient if you want to do some shopping or just get a coffee or a quick bite!

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.

It was a little difficult to find staff when I had questions, but fellow travelers were generally friendly and willing to help. The station is beautiful and has many shops to browse while waiting for your train. I also found the train fares to be reasonable.
