History
The station opened in 1973, in what was then the Borough of North York, and replaced Eglinton as the northern terminus of the Yonge line. One year later, the subway was extended to Finch.
The original bus terminal was above ground, in an standard island configuration surrounded by bus bays, and at that time was also used by GO Transit buses.
The current underground TTC bus platforms and GO Bus Terminal were built between 1985 and 1992 with the development of the York Mills Centre.
