Dundas West Subway

Dundas West Station
Vincent Yard
Dundas West Subway (not to be confused with Dundas), is on the Bloor-Danforth line of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).  It was opened to the public in 1966 and serves about 25,000 people a day.  Located between Dundas West station and Keele is a small rail yard, used to store only about 6 cars, making it the smallest yard on the system.  It’s called Vincent yard.
Blue Bay Cafe-Cajun Food
A unique feature of Dundas West station is a McDonald’s restaurant located directly beside the TTC collector booth.  It’s accessible from both in or outside the station.  So if you are in a hurry and having a Mac attack, it’s a great location.   If you are looking to dine at a classier establishment, the Blue Bay CafĂ©, located 2243 Dundas St. West is a spike-heeled running distance from the Dundas West subway station.  It’s a vegetarian restaurant that serves up spicy hot food and I must admit, I am partial to samosas, but forced myself to try an okra-based dished with tomatoes and onions.  This place can turn a meat lover into a vegetarian!
