Kipling is the western terminus station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is the westernmost station in the system. It is located on St. Albans Road at Aukland Road, near 5247 Dundas Street West at its more westerly intersection with Bloor Street West, and near Kipling Avenue. It opened in 1980. Kipling station connects with the Kipling station on the GO Transit’s Milton railway line. The station is designed around commuter travel, with a ‘Kiss & Ride’ passenger drop-off platform, carpool parking, and both TTC and GO service. Space was provided on the station’s bus level for a connecting rapid transit line similar to the original concept for the Scarborough RT, but an empty track bed and platform at the south end of the bus level is all that was built. One of two bus lines that provide regular service to Toronto Pearson International Airport originates from this station. The station is at ground level. For most of the way east to the next station the line continues on the surface, alongside the railway right-of-way, paralleling Dundas Street at a distance. After crossing over Bloor Street to the north side, it turns somewhat to the right to take up the normal alignment parallel to Bloor. At this point the line goes underground. Residential and commercial developments are replacing some of the previous land uses, namely light industrial/commercial, and a former parochial high school. A third tunnel structure exists on the north side of the station and gravel bed trailing out eastward is likely meant for an extension of the line. There are no tracks laid on this section and remains unused.
