| Built as part of the University Y (yellow subway line) for opening of Bloor-Danforth subway line (Keele to Woodbine) in 1966. Bay Lower was constructed to allow TTC to operate a fully integrated subway so that passengers could travel without transferring between Bloor subway line and Yonge subway line providing they boarded the correct train. Operated from February 1966 to September 1966 when the non-integrated system which is currently in use came into effect. Bay Lower is fully operational but used today for work vehicles, moving trains from one line to another, training and filming. |
