Description
Line 1 Yonge–University is the oldest and busiest subway line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is operated by the Toronto Transit Commission, has 32 stations and is 30.2 km (18.8 mi) in length.
It opened as the Yonge subway in 1954. Various extensions were completed between 1963 and 1996. Averaging nearly 732,000 riders per weekday, the Yonge–University line is the second busiest rapid transit line in North America, after the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway.
Line 2 Bloor–Danforth is the 2nd rapid transit line of the Toronto rapid transit system, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It has 31 stations and is 26.2 kilometres (16.3 mi) in length. It opened on February 25, 1966, and extensions at both ends were completed in 1968 and again in 1980.
The most travelled part of the line is located in Old Toronto's midtown area known as Yorkville. In this area, the subway also connects to the Yonge–University line at Spadina, St. George and Yonge stations.
This is the signage of the Spadina Station, at the juncture between the two lines.
The name, 'Spadina', originates from the Ojibwa word ishpadinaa, meaning "high place/ridge"
