Union Station

Union TTC at Toronto's Union Station links the Go and Via rail networks to Toronto's public transit network. TTC has adopted the Presto card system which supports transport payments in Toronto and for instance Ottawa. TTC continues to accept token coins and I am not sure when that payment system might stop.

The staff here are amazing and very helpful but the general public here is the worst. I had to wait 15 minutes to just get on the elevator and almost missed the Go train. People crowd the elevators and do not care for those who actually need them. I was waiting with my baby and an elderly couple as people pushed passed us. I got annoyed and just pushed through and allowed the couple to follow me in or else we would have been there for a while. If I didn’t have my stroller I would have used the stairs instead.

I recently visited Union Station in Toronto and was impressed by how clean and organized it was. The station exuded a sense of cleanliness and efficiency, making for a pleasant experience overall. However, my only complaint was the lack of clarity regarding which entrance is open during the early morning hours.While I understand the station's concern about potential vandalism and unwanted visitors, it would be beneficial if there were clearer signs or announcements to guide visitors seeking to catch the Union Pearson Express in the early morning. This would ensure a smoother and more convenient experience for travelers.Nonetheless, Union Station remains an impressive transportation hub with its cleanliness and organization, and with a few improvements in communication, it could become an even more welcoming and visitor-friendly space.

I've always found my way around eventually, if only disoriented for a moment. I've also found any staff politely obliging our directions when asked. Union has been a work in progress ongoing, for what seems several years, intensely, but somehow they manage to keep the flow of travel without much delay. All of the renovations are active proof of how willing the TTC and Go Transit are to please us, the public. The art displays are monumental, and the art deco, architecture, is beautiful inside and out! There's multiple purchase options for travel whether personal or machine, and they're easy to find. Coffee and good food are close by, as well as bathroom amenities. There's multiple exits if someone is a smoker, and easy entry back in to catch a bus or train, with umpteen monitors displaying arrivals or departures, and the flow between transfers is usually within a reasonable limit to adjust to in proceeding further. It's kept very clean considering the size and scope of this place, as it also has many attached shopping area's among the catacombs. This location is iconic, and will remain for many years ahead!

The union station is Toronto's most important subway station, an important hub for connecting railways, highways and subways. Whether you are in or out of the subway station, you will find it easy to find the place you are going.

Love the redesigned station. A new food court and very spacious common areas throughout. It took a long time to do, but it was quite worth it at the end. Still not done, but I am already loving what I am seeing!

It got better with the second platform that was added a few years back. However it is crowded and not that functional. The decore is nice and with the new lights looks quite nice.

Although can get busy at times, it is easy to find out where to go as new signs are being put up. Renovation are bringing a modern touch to the station while still preserving its history! Awesome going though it daily!
