Dundas (Toronto Subway)
Dundas is an underground subway station in Toronto . It lies on the Yonge-University line of the Toronto Subway , at the intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas Street . The station has side platforms and is used by an average of 81,330 passengers every day (2015).
Nearby are the Eaton Center and Atrium on Bay shopping malls , Dundas Square , Ryerson University , Chinatown , City Hall , the Canon Theater and the Toronto Coach Terminal . There are transfer options to two bus lines and to tram line 505. Dundas is also one of five stations that are connected to the PATH tunnel system. The station opened on March 30, 1954 along with the Union - Eglinton section , the oldest subway on Canadian soil.
Dundas is the only station whose platforms cannot be reached via a common distribution level, but only directly from the street. The reasons for this are the limited space and the difficult geological situation. The terracotta mural Cross Section by William McElcheran adorns the northwest entrance. It shows pets, people shopping, business people and other commuters.
