Dundas West is an underground subway station in Toronto . It is on the Bloor-Danforth Line of the Toronto Subway , at the intersection of Bloor Street and Dundas Street West. The station has side platforms and is used by an average of 29,620 passengers every day (2015).

There are transfer options to four bus lines as well as to tram lines 504 and 505, with a turning loop going around the station building. About 200 meters east of it is Bloor station on the GO Transit Georgetown line , but there is no direct access through a pedestrian tunnel. The station opened on February 26, 1966, along with the Keele - Woodbine section .

To the south of the station, parallel to the main tracks, is the Vincent Yard parking facility . The facility, also known as Keele Yard, is the smallest of the entire network and has four tracks that are located in a tunnel at their eastern end. After it opened in 1966, eight six-car trains could be parked there, if only as a supplement to the main workshop at Greenwood . Vincent Yard has only been used to park individual work cars since 1978, when a new, significantly larger parking facility was put into operation at Wilson .
