Line 5 Eglinton runs along Eglinton Avenue for 19 kilometres from Mount Dennis to Kennedy, cutting travel times across the city by up to 60 per cent.

Improving transit with new connections

With 25 stations and stops, Line 5 Eglinton offers seamless connections to two GO train lines, UP Express, 68 bus routes and three TTC subway stations.

On the west end of the line, Mount Dennis Station connects riders to Kitchener line GO trains, UP Express and TTC buses. On the east end, Kennedy Station offers connections to Stouffville line GO trains and the TTC’s Line 2 subway, with a future connection to the Scarborough Subway Extension.

In between these terminal stations, Line 5 connects to the TTC’s Line 1 subway at Cedarvale (Allen Road and Eglinton Avenue) and Eglinton (Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue) stations.

Transit is expanding now

With Line 5 now open, Toronto has a brand‑new transit artery that’s already making it easier to get around. And the exciting part? This is just one piece of a network that’s growing right now, across the region.

New lines and extensions are under construction today, and improvements to subways, light rail, buses, and GO Transit are adding more options for faster, more reliable travel. Every addition makes the system stronger and helps connect more people to more places.

We’re not only building for the future; we’re expanding transit now. And as we keep adding to the network, we’re creating a region that’s easier to move through and easier to thrive in — now and for years to come.
