More construction barriers are gone and connecting to transit just got easier inside Toronto’s Union Station.
Transit users can now use a second underground path, below the hub’s Great Hall, to get in and out of Union Station.
The new pathway, which opened on Dec. 23, is just the beginning of the new Bay Concourse, and will make connecting to the TTC easier.
One end is located in the Lower Great Hall, next to Dresden Vision – the level right below the VIA Rail Canada ticket booths.
The other end comes out in front of Union Station, on Front Street.
“The City of Toronto is excited to see this milestone arrive at Union Station,” said Brad Ross, chief communications officer for the City of Toronto.
“Modernizing a historical facility like Union, while keeping it open to the public throughout, takes time and the commitment of many.”

Ross said opening up more space makes commutes more comfortable for the public, including GO Transit and UP Express customers.
He added, the new path is also sign they are making great progress at the station, and more new space will open in 2020.
