Queens Quay (TTC)

Queens Quay (TTC)

Queens Quay is an underground streetcar station of the Toronto streetcar system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the only underground streetcar station that is not part of or connected to a Toronto subway station (Union, Spadina, and St. Clair West subway stations have underground stations for streetcars as well). It was opened in 1990 as part of the former Harbourfront LRT route. Located in a streetcar tunnel, the station is now served by the 509 Harbourfront and 510 Spadina routes.

The station is named after Queen's Quay, an adjacent street skirting Toronto's waterfront. The station's internal signage bears the subtitle "Ferry Docks", a reference to the nearby terminal for the Toronto Island Ferry that provides pedestrian access to the Toronto Islands.

This station did not open at the same time as the rest of the Harbourfront line it served, due to disputes regarding direct access to nearby businesses that eventually fell through. Additionally, after the station did open, the "FERRY DOCKS" subtitle was not yet present.
