It's a free ride on the TTC today in celebration of the official opening of the Line 1 subway extension.
Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca made the announcement at Sheppard West Station Saturday morning.
You will be able to ride the entire TTC network including subways, streetcars and buses from 5 a.m. today to 5 a.m. Monday.
Del Duca says, "We want everyone to be a part of history and experience the opening of the new Line 1 extension and see how beautiful and inspiring these new stations really are. The opening of the Toronto-York subway extension is the single greatest transit achievement for this region in my lifetime. Thousands of Vaughan residents and York University students now have a world-class rapid transit option to get them where they need to go faster and more efficiently."
The six new subway stations are Downsview Park, Finch West, York University, Pioneer Village, Highway 407 and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.
The new line goes from Vaughan Metropolitan Centre to the Sheppard West station in about 14 minutes and to Union Station in 42 minutes. Students will also be able to take rapid transit to York University for the very first time.
A release from the Ministry of Transportation says "The Line 1 extension will add an estimated 36 million transit trips and eliminate 30 million car trips per year, helping to ease traffic congestion, improve air quality and fight climate change."
