Kipling (TTC) - Definition and Overview

Kipling is a station on the Bloor-Danforth Line of the Toronto subway. It is located on St. Albans Road at Aukland Road, near 5247 Dundas Street West at its more westerly intersection with Bloor Street West, and near Kipling Avenue. It opened in 1980. Kipling station connects to GO Transit's Milton line.

The station is designed around commuter travel, with a "Kiss & Ride" drop-off platform, carpool parking, and both TTC and GO service. Space was provided on the station's bus level for a connecting rapid transit line similar to the Scarborough RT, but this was never built. One of two bus lines that provide regular service to Toronto Pearson International Airport originates from this station.

The station is at ground level. For most of the way to the next station the line continues on the surface, alongside the railway right-of-way, paralleling Dundas Street at a distance. After crossing over Bloor Street to the north side, it turns somewhat to the right to take up the normal alignment parallel to Bloor. At this point the line goes underground.
