Keele station

Description

Keele is a station on the Bloor–Danforth line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located just north of Bloor Street West on the east side of Keele Street. The station opened in 1966, and was the western terminus of the line until 1968. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.HistoryWhen the Bloor-Danforth line was opened in 1966 from Keele to Woodbine (TTC) station, the Bloor streetcar route was dramatically shortened. It now traveled east from Jane Loop only as far as Keele Station; at the eastern end of the line, a separate Danforth streetcar was established, from Woodbine station to Luttrell Loop. On 11 May 1968, the Bloor and Danforth streetcars were both eliminated when the subway extensions west to Islington and east to Warden were opened. During this initial two-year period the trolleybuses and streetcars serving the station used separate loops (both within the fare-paid area), one near each of the station's entrances, so that passengers transferring between streetcars and trolleybuses had to walk along the subway platform. While the main (Keele Street) entrance and trolleybus loop had escalators up to the platform, the east (parking lot and Indian Grove) entrance and streetcar loop were provided with a moving ramp leading up to what is now the eastbound subway platform. After streetcar service to the station ended in 1968, the streetcar loop property was redeveloped and the moving ramp was sealed off. The former trolleybus loop is still used, by buses.
