The Toronto subway map, line by line
The Toronto subway map now has five rapid transit lines: three subway lines and two new light rail lines. Here is how to read it, where each line runs, how many stations it has, and where they meet. We drew all five on the Toronto Live Map, so we know them well.
| Line | Runs between | Stations | Opened |
|---|---|---|---|
| Line 1 Yonge–University | Finch and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, via Union | 38 | 1954 |
| Line 2 Bloor–Danforth | Kipling and Kennedy | 31 | 1966 |
| Line 4 Sheppard | Sheppard–Yonge and Don Mills | 5 | 2002 |
| Line 5 Eglinton | Mount Dennis and Kennedy | 25 | February 2026 |
| Line 6 Finch West | Humber College and Finch West | 18 | December 2025 |
The dots show the colours from our own map palette. Station counts include interchange stations once per line.
How to read the Toronto subway map
Picture a U with a few lines crossing it. Line 1 is the U. Its two arms reach north from Union Station by the lake: Yonge Street on the east arm, University Avenue and Spadina on the west arm. Line 2 crosses both arms from west to east, along Bloor Street and the Danforth.
Further north, Line 5 crosses the city along Eglinton Avenue and meets both arms of the U. Line 4 branches east from the top of the Yonge arm at Sheppard–Yonge, and Line 6 runs west from the top of the other arm, along Finch Avenue West. Most of downtown sits inside the bottom of the U, below Bloor. Know the U, and the rest of the map falls into place.
Line 1 Yonge–University
Toronto's first subway, and still its busiest. It opened in 1954 under Yonge Street, as Canada's first subway (our Toronto subway history tells how it grew). Today it is a long U: down Yonge from Finch to Union, then back up through the University Avenue corridor and Spadina to York University and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, just outside the city.
Its 38 stations include some of the best-known names in the city: Union, King, Queen, Bloor–Yonge, St George, Eglinton. If someone tells you "my station", there is a good chance it is on Line 1.
All 38 stations on Line 1
Finch, North York Centre, Sheppard–Yonge, York Mills, Lawrence, Eglinton, Davisville, St Clair, Summerhill, Rosedale, Bloor–Yonge, Wellesley, College, TMU, Queen, King, Union, St Andrew, Osgoode, St Patrick, Queen's Park, Museum, St George, Spadina, Dupont, St Clair West, Cedarvale, Glencairn, Lawrence West, Yorkdale, Wilson, Sheppard West, Downsview Park, Finch West, York University, Pioneer Village, Highway 407, Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.
Line 2 Bloor–Danforth
The great east–west line. It opened in 1966 and runs under Bloor Street and the Danforth, from Kipling in Etobicoke to Kennedy in Scarborough. Ride it end to end and you cross the whole city: High Park, the Annex, Yorkville, the Prince Edward Viaduct over the Don Valley, Greektown.
All 31 stations on Line 2
Kipling, Islington, Royal York, Old Mill, Jane, Runnymede, High Park, Keele, Dundas West, Lansdowne, Dufferin, Ossington, Christie, Bathurst, Spadina, St George, Bay, Bloor–Yonge, Sherbourne, Castle Frank, Broadview, Chester, Pape, Donlands, Greenwood, Coxwell, Woodbine, Main Street, Victoria Park, Warden, Kennedy.
What happened to Line 3?
Line 3 Scarborough, the elevated line from Kennedy to McCowan, closed for good in 2023 after a derailment that summer. It was already due to close that November. Buses now carry its riders, and an extension of Line 2 into Scarborough is under construction. That is why the numbers jump from 2 to 4.
Line 4 Sheppard
The short one. Opened in 2002, it runs five stations east under Sheppard Avenue, from Sheppard–Yonge, where it meets Line 1, to Don Mills, near Fairview Mall.
All 5 stations on Line 4
Sheppard–Yonge, Bayview, Bessarion, Leslie, Don Mills.
Line 5 Eglinton
The long-awaited one. After more than a decade of construction, Line 5 opened to riders on 8 February 2026. It is a light rail line about 19 km long, running along Eglinton Avenue from Mount Dennis in the west to Kennedy in the east, with more than 10 km of it underground.
It meets Line 1 twice, at Cedarvale and Eglinton, and Line 2 at Kennedy. East of Laird it comes up to the surface, with stops along the street past Wynford, Golden Mile and Ionview.
All 25 stations and stops on Line 5
Mount Dennis, Keelesdale, Caledonia, Fairbank, Oakwood, Cedarvale, Forest Hill, Chaplin, Avenue, Eglinton, Mount Pleasant, Leaside, Laird, Sunnybrook Park, Don Valley, Aga Khan Park & Museum, Wynford, Sloane, O'Connor, Pharmacy, Hakimi Lebovic, Golden Mile, Birchmount, Ionview, Kennedy.
Line 6 Finch West
The newest line in the northwest. Line 6 opened on 7 December 2025: a light rail line of about 11 km along Finch Avenue West, from Humber College to Finch West station, where it meets Line 1. Most of its 18 stops are on the street, in the middle of Finch.
All 18 stations and stops on Line 6
Humber College, Westmore, Martin Grove, Albion, Stevenson, Mount Olive, Rowntree Mills, Pearldale, Duncanwoods, Milvan Rumike, Emery, Signet Arrow, Norfinch Oakdale, Jane and Finch, Driftwood, Tobermory, Sentinel, Finch West.
Where the lines meet
- Lines 1 and 2: Bloor–Yonge, St George and Spadina.
- Lines 1 and 4: Sheppard–Yonge.
- Lines 1 and 5: Eglinton and Cedarvale.
- Lines 2 and 5: Kennedy.
- Lines 1 and 6: Finch West.
Union is where Line 1 meets GO trains and the UP Express.
What comes next
More is being built. The Ontario Line, a new line from Exhibition Place through downtown to Don Valley station on Line 5, is under construction. So is the Line 2 extension into Scarborough, and an extension of Line 1 north towards Richmond Hill is in the works. When they open, there will be more stations to draw.
The lines on the Toronto Live Map
All five lines are engraved on the Toronto Live Map, with a small light in each station: 108 lights in all. Albion and Stevenson, two Line 6 stops very close together, share one light at this scale.
Lines 1, 2 and 4 are live: the map reads the open subway data every 20 seconds, and a station glows as a train arrives. Lines 5 and 6 glow in every colour mode, and join Live mode as soon as their live data is published. Read how it works.
