It is located downtown, near the intersection of Yonge Street and Bloor Street. As a subway transfer point in a central, high-density area, Bloor-Yonge is by far the busiest subway station in Toronto, with a }} customer trips per day. Wi-Fi service is available at this station. ==History== The station was opened in 1954 and designed by Charles B. Dolphin.〔http://archindont.torontopubliclibrary.ca/ArchindontWeb/buildingType.do?type=Subway+Stations&typeID=112〕 It was originally named "Bloor", and connected with a pair of enclosed platforms in the centre of Bloor Street to allow interchange with Bloor streetcars within the fare-paid zone. When the streetcars were replaced with the Bloor-Danforth subway in 1966, the station began to be shown on maps as "Bloor-Yonge". However, actual platform signs still show "Bloor" on the Yonge-University line and "Yonge" on the Bloor-Danforth line, following a naming style common in New York subway station complexes, where only the platform's cross street is shown on the platform signs. (Some maps over the years also showed the station with two names "Bloor" and "Yonge", although the style "Bloor-Yonge" is now in use again; both are retronyms of Bloor Station.) Similarly, the automated station announcement system installed in 2007–08 refers to the station as "Bloor" on Line 1 and "Yonge" on Line 2 respectively. The new Toronto Rocket subway trains, which operate on Line 1 uses a new computer generated stop announcement system, on which it refers to the station as "Bloor-Yonge". It is the only TTC station named in this way; all other interchanges share the same name for both lines, including Sheppard-Yonge. The station used to feature a small retail concourse along the corridor leading from the entrance at the south side of Bloor Street. This concourse was closed and disappeared during the construction of the office building at 33 Bloor Street East in the late 1980s. Due to its congestion, the TTC has had to expand the station. In 1992, it took advantage of building construction over the Yonge-University portion of the station to open it out and widen the platforms. This was the first stage of a plan, known as the Spanish solution, to enable trains to open their doors on both sides: the tracks would next have been slewed outwards within the widened station, and a central platform built between them. The TTC does not intend to proceed with that plan. In 1996, this station became accessible with elevators as one of the TTC's first accessible stations. The TTC experimented with crowd control measures on the southbound platform of the Yonge-University level on November 24, 2009 and made these permanent as they allowed for improved passenger flow by discouraging crowding near the stairs leading to the Bloor-Danforth level. These measures also reduced dwell times by a few seconds, such that a few more trains can enter the station during rush hour without building additional capacity. , a trial for new numerical signage referring to the subway routes such as Line 1 for the Yonge line and Line 2 for the Bloor line were phased in on signs and maps at the station. 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「Bloor–Yonge (TTC)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
