YORK REGION TRANSIT
2015 ANNUAL SERVICE PL AN
The length of the Spadina Subway extension
from the TTC Downsview subway station to
Highway 7 and Jane Street is 8.6 kilometres,
of which 2.4 kilometres is in York Region. The
extension will include three subway stations in
York Region: Pioneer Village Station (formerly
Steeles West Station), Highway 407 Station, and
Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) Station. Each
of the stations in York Region will have a bus
terminal. Commuter parking lots will be located
at Pioneer Village Station with 1,850 spaces, and
at Highway 407 Station with 600 spaces. The
subway extension is scheduled to be complete
by the fall of 2016 and the existing surface bus
network will be restructured to connect with the
subway stations where applicable. The alignment
of the proposed subway is shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9: Spadina Subway Extension Station Location
2015 Annual Service Plan
Route restructuring will occur in phases and
will be coordinated with the Spadina Subway
extension and the VNEP. Table 25 lists the routes
and provides a brief summary of the proposed
restructuring.
The proposed restructuring is shown in Figure
10.

YORK REGION TRANSIT
2015 ANNUAL SERVICE PL AN
The Spadina Subway Transit Strategy (SSTS)
builds upon the Viva Network Expansion Plan
(VNEP), the 2012-2016 YRT/Viva Five-Year Plan
and a terminal bus bay justification analysis.
The SSTS outlines the proposed changes to the
existing YRT/Viva network to service the three
new subway stations in York Region. The SSTS
plan will decrease the annual cost of service by
approximately $286,759 and the fleet required
will increase by 23 rush hour vehicles due to the
assumption of some TTC services.

2015 Annual Service Plan
The Pioneer Village Station is located at Steeles
Avenue and Northwest Gate (York University). The
station will have a YRT/Viva bus terminal on the
north side of Steeles Avenue and a TTC terminal
on the south side. The preliminary layout of the
YRT/Viva bus terminal is shown in Figure 11.
Commuter parking for 1,850 vehicles and
associated access roads are located in the hydro
corridor to the north of the station. The main
entrance to the subway is located on the north
side of Steeles Avenue West and provides access
to the YRT/Viva bus terminal, the on-street
Passenger Pick-Up and Drop Off, and commuter
parking. A pedestrian walkway from the
commuter parking lot through the YRT/Viva bus
terminal will be designed to provide a protected
route for passengers moving to and from the
main entrance.
Figure 11: Pioneer Village Bus Terminal
Preliminary Layout
It is proposed that the Pioneer Village Station
will be serviced by Route 3 – Thornhill, Route 20
– Jane, Route 22A – King City, Route 29 – Keele,
Route 65 – Weston, Route 75 – Dufferin and the
proposed Route 101 – York U Shuttle. The routes
will require four in-service bays and one bay
designated for growth.

7.3 | Highway 407 Station
The Highway 407 Station bus terminal will
integrate YRT/Viva, Brampton Transit and GO
Transit service. The preliminary layout of the bus
terminal is shown in Figure 12.
It is proposed that the Highway 407 Station
will be serviced by YRT Route 20 – Jane, YRT
Mobility Plus and Brampton Transit Route 501A
– Queen. The station will primarily accommodate
transfers between YRT/Viva and GO Transit as
most connections with the subway will occur at
the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Pioneer
Village Subway Stations.
YORK REGION TRANSIT

The barrier-free access route from the parking

separated from vehicle traffic and leads directly
to the sliding doors at the main entrance.

Figure 13: Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Preliminary Layout
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) Station
is the northern terminus of the Spadina Subway
Extension. The preliminary layout of the VMC bus
terminal is shown in Figure 13.
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station is
located north of Highway 7 to the west side of the
relocated Millway Avenue. The station will be a
multi-modal transportation hub with a Passenger
Pick-Up and Drop-Off, connections to York Region
Transit Bus Terminal, and connections to Viva
service along Highway 7.
It is proposed that the Vaughan Metropolitan
Centre Station will be serviced by Route 10 –
Woodbridge, Route 20 – Jane, Route 26 – Maple
Local and Route 35 – Concord Local. The routes
will require six in-service bays and two bays
designated for growth and one bay for Mobility
Plus.
YORK REGION TRANSIT
2015 ANNUAL SERVICE PL AN
Viva orange, Viva silver and Brampton Züm
501 – Queen will service the station on-street.
Passengers will board/alight in the centre lane
rapidway vivastation on Highway 7. The rapidway
vivastation will have access to the subway
concourse below and passengers will be able to
walk to the bus terminal located north of Highway
7 via the concourse. Route 77 – Highway 7 will
also service the station on-street at a curbside
stop.

7.5 | Cost and Fleet
Table 26: Pioneer Village Station - Annual Cost and Hours
The cost and fleet requirements of the Spadina
Subway transit strategy are additional to the
changes planned in the VNEP.
Daily Hours
Table 26 summarizes the costs for Pioneer
Village Station. (Route 101 – York U Shuttle is not
included in Table 19 as it is part of the VNEP.) The
routing/restructuring changes associated with
operating into Pioneer Village Station will result
in an overall annual increase of $310,621.
In the case of Highway 407 Station, Route 20 is
the only YRT/Viva route servicing the terminal.
The hours and cost for Route 20 are shown in
Table 26.
YORK REGION TRANSIT
2015 ANNUAL SERVICE PL AN
Table 27 summarizes the costs for Vaughan
Metropolitan Centre Station. Table 27 excludes
Route 20 (as Route 20 is included in Table 19),
and also excludes Route 77 – Highway 7, Viva
orange and Viva silver as these routes are
included in the VNEP. The routing/restructuring
changes associated with operating into Vaughan
Metropolitan Centre Station will result in an
overall annual decrease of $597,380.
146
The overall cost of the routing/restructuring
changes associated with operating into the three
stations is an annual decrease of $286,759.
Table 28 shows that a fleet increase of 23
vehicles is required. The increase is needed
for the routes assumed from TTC and for the
additional shuttle to York University. All other
routes will be operated with the existing fleet
numbers.

Date (7 p.m. – 9 p.m.)
Location
Municipality
In February 2014, six SSTS public information
centres (PICs) were held in the City of Vaughan,
with at least one PIC per ward, as shown in Table
29.
The purpose of the PICs was to publicize the
Spadina Subway extension and associated YRT/
Viva routes, receive public input regarding the
routes, and identify customer needs.
Comments from the PICs included:
>> Support for the proposed Route 101 – York
University Shuttle to provide service to York
University
>> Suggestion for Route 75 – Dufferin to operate
to Downsview Subway Station instead of
Pioneer Village Station
>> Suggestion that all branches of Viva orange
operate to Finch GO Bus Terminal
>> Suggestion for Viva purple to service
Promenade Terminal
>> Suggestion for Route 20 – Jane to only
service Pioneer Village Station
