Public transportation options

  • The 126 bus travels from Christie Station to St. Clair West Station. It stops in front of the building. It's the closest bus, but it doesn't run very often (~every 20 min). Elevators are available at St. Clair West Station. Elevators are not yet available at Christie Station. 

  • The 512 streetcar is currently not operating, but shuttle buses are running frequently, though they are more crowded. These shuttle buses stop about 1.5 blocks from Christie and St. Clair West. The streetcar is expected to resume in Spring 2024, so it might be operating again by the end of May. It’s possible that these plans will change so check the TTC website for the most up-to-date information.

  • Finally, the buses running north from Bathurst Station also stop near the building (550 meters away).

  • TTC accessibility info on buses and on streetcars.
