Ellesmere (TTC)

Ellesmere is a subway station in Toronto. It lies on the Scarborough RT, the Toronto Subway, on the Ellesmere Road between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue. The station, which has ground-level side platforms, is used daily by an average of 1360 passengers (2009/10 ), making it by far the weakest of the entire network traffic.

Furthermore, the commuters is a park -and-ride with 60 parking spaces available. The track follows in this section of the route of the Canadian National Railway; north of the station passes under the subway in a short tunnel, the railway line, describing a tight 90 degree turn to then get on a viaduct.
