Ontario Line Will Have 15 Subway Stations & Here's What Some Could Look Like (PHOTOS)

Subway delays and overcrowded trains in Toronto are one step closer to being a thing of the past — or maybe just less frequent.

The Ontario government broke ground on construction for the Ontario Line's Exhibition Station this weekend, marking the first step of construction in creating the new Ontario Line, according to a press release.

"Our government has moved at unprecedented speed to start construction on the new Ontario Line subway," said Premier Doug Ford. "This project will be a game changer for the city and region and is a key part of our plan to build the roads, bridges, highways and transit needed to move our economy forward."

The new 15.6-kilometre subway line will have 15 stations to "provide rapid transit between Exhibition/Ontario Place and the Ontario Science Centre."

The Ontario Line could reduce crowding at Union Station by up to 14% during its peak hour of service and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 14,000 tonnes yearly by 2041, according to the Ontario government.

Across its 15 stations, the line "will connect to more than 40 other transit routes, including GO train lines, existing TTC subway and streetcar lines, and the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit line."

Along with the new Ontario Line, the Ontario government is also working on extending transit through "the three-stop Scarborough Subway Extension, the Yonge North Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension" as part of the Government of Canada's over-$10-billion investment into transit.

So travellers can rest assured that transit in Toronto will be getting a makeover.

The Ontario government has also released renderings of what some subway stations along the Ontario Line could look like.

Ontario has also invested in other transit projects. Earlier in March, Doug Ford announced Connecting the GGH: A Transportation Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, which is set to help strengthen transit over the next 30 years.
