Connections to GO Transit's commuter train service on the Lakeshore East line can be made at Danforth GO Station, approximately 300 metres to the south on the east side of Main Street. This station became wheelchair accessible in 2004. An elevator provides access from the streetcar and bus platforms at street level, where the main entrance and collector's booth are located, to an intermediate mezzanine area and directly to the platform for eastbound trains. A second elevator provides a connection between the mezzanine and the westbound subway platform. To facilitate accessibility automatic sliding doors were added at the street entrance and on the north side of the station building, along with an accessible faregate and improved signage.〔(Main Street: Accessible Alternative )〕 A space is reserved for Wheel-Trans vehicles. == History == Main Street Station was opened in 1968. The station was built on the site of the former Main Loop, which was the eastern terminus of the Carlton streetcar line. This loop closed in 1966 for construction of the subway station. Unlike most TTC stations, its name includes the word "Street" in order to avoid the possible misreading that it is the subway's "main" station. It is named after Main Street, which was the main street of the suburban town of East Toronto, which was amalgamated into Toronto in 1908. The station was built with its turnstiles and collector booths on the mezzanine level between the bus and streetcar terminal and the subway platforms. This may have been because until 1973 it was near a fare zone boundary and there was an intention to bring buses from both fare zones into the terminal, as was done at Jane Station; however, (this 1968 map ) shows the boundary to one side of the station. The booths and turnstiles were later moved to just inside the street entrance, bringing the buses and streetcars inside the station's fare-paid area. Main-Danforth has been identified by Metrolinx as a transportation mobility hub as it is located at the interchange of two or more current or planned regional rapid transit lines. 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「Main Street (TTC)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
