Kipling (TTC) - Facilities

Facilities

The main entrance is located at the west end of Kipling station, with access to the GO Station, commuter parking lots and a Kiss and ride area for passenger drop-off. An entrance at the east end makes the bus platform level accessible by way of a ramp, with an elevator providing a connection with the train platform below. Fares can be paid for at this station by using tokens, tickets, passes, as well as the Presto smart card. Currently it serves the high density residential and commercial developments that are being built, while acting as a hub for commuter travel.

A third track level entrance was built on the north side of the station structure, to provide access to a subway yard that the TTC were considering building at the time when the station was being planned. Above the subway tracks on the south side of the station, opposite the bus bays on the same level, is an unfinished platform for a proposed but unbuilt Etobicoke RT line similar to the Scarborough RT.

East of the station towards Islington, the line continues on the surface alongside the railway right-of-way which paralleling Dundas Street at a distance. After crossing over Bloor Street to the north side, it takes the alignment parallel to Bloor as the line goes underground.

Construction on a new 14-bay inter-regional bus terminal is planned and was originally scheduled to be completed in 2010. This would see GO Transit buses use the facility, and Mississauga Transit buses terminate at Kipling station instead of Islington. The current parking facilities will be reconfigured to allow for the construction of the terminal. The modernization project would also include landscaping and revitalization of interior and exterior station finishes and lighting.
