It is located under Yonge Street north of Finch Avenue.〔 This is the busiest TTC bus station and the sixth-busiest subway station, serving around people per day. The station connects with other transit agencies at the adjoining Finch Bus Terminal. ==History== The station was opened on March 29, 1974, in what was then the Borough of North York, by provincial premier Bill Davis and borough mayor Mel Lastman. It replaced York Mills as the northern terminus of the line. Homes which once fronted the station along Yonge Street were demolished. Finch was created using the cut-and-cover technique as a way to save money.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://transit.toronto.on.ca/subway/5105.shtml )〕 In 1999, this station became accessible with elevators. In April 2006, work began on creating a new exit from the bus station on the western stub of Pemberton Avenue. This new exit was created because of the congestion that was created during the rush hour periods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.ttc.ca/postings/gso-comrpt/documents/report/f1684/_conv.htm )〕 Not only did the congestion affect customers entering or leaving the station, it also caused long delays for cars around Bishop Avenue. In the morning rush hour, buses took an average of 1 minute and 58 seconds to travel the 40 metres from the station to Yonge Street, with some waiting up to 4 minutes.〔 The new exit was completed in January 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Finch (TTC)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
