Toronto Subway Station Tour & Ride - St Clair to Summerhill [4K]

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2020
- A 4K Toronto transit video that takes us from the TTC St Clair Station to Summerhill Station. The station tour starts off outside on St Clair Avenue and walks over to the St Clair Centre's Yonge Street entrance and into the station. I then walk through the station passing through the northbound subway platform, bus bays and streetcar platform before heading down to the southbound train platform. From there I board the train and ride down to Summerhill Station. This was recorded at just after 5:30 pm on Thursday, May 28, 2020. Considering the time of day things were much less busy than normal thanks to the Coronavirus / Covid-19.
St Clair Station is located in Midtown Toronto and connects Line 1 of the subway network to the St Clair Avenue West streetcar route.
This was filmed with a DJI Omso Pocket at 60 FPS.

Everyone's impressed about the subway, I'm impressed by that mad stabilization...
Wow the stations and trains are super clean out there I want to ride the Toronto subway someday
cleaner than new york LOL
@@Colby00 a toilet full of shit is cleaner than New York
We don't need those.
@MysticalKO I wish there were safety screen doors on the platforms to prevent people falling. Kinda like those you see in Hong Kong or Japan
@@aruharu245 on the new Ontario line there will be and line 1 just got the signalling capabilities to have the screen doors if they choose to install them
Kids haven’t used the ttc so this was helpful to get a slight understanding of what to expect! Thanks!
Canada beautiful country
You all had a good shower that evening 🌦 I must say the train station are very clean and I love how its connected to a mall or something thanks for the tour and keep these wonderful vlogs coming be safe now much love🥰
Thanks Denise! We did have a good shower which is why opted to record this instead of a regular walk :) Appreciate your support!
We should have more walks to St Clair Stn, it’s a great Station, I like it!
There will be! I have one planned soon that will end up at St Clair Station if all gods to plan... I'm always going to do a walk through St Clair West.
I miss everything of Toronto, even the subway ):
I know the feeling, I live here and still miss it!
I do as well ,St.Clair station is my stop.
Me too
me too
Visitei Toronto no ano de 2017. Adorei essa cidade. Lembro-me muito bem dessa voz feminina do metrô. Deu-me até saudades de lá.
Nice tour. Love the tour especially the Five Twelve Saint Clair (512 St. Clair) platforms.
Thank you! I wish I caught the streetcar pulling into the station and caught a bus or two but I had pretty good luck with the subway trains...
Ayyyeeee it’s the video I requested
Thanks for uploading!
No problem and thanks for the suggestion!
Johnny Strides Always, the reason why I choose St Clair Station was not only it was a great station, but St Clair Station has a lot of offer
I have this subtle memory that back when I was a baby waiting for the train on the southbound platform of St. Clair, one of those maintenance trains you see at Davisville yards zipped past through the station. I think it was one of those flatbed trains. At the time, I thought I was seeing things as you don't see them often. I don't know why I still remember it to this day as it's very random.
As for observing the video, there's nothing special to write home about, and I keep wondering why the tunnel between St. Clair and Summerhill is so spacious.
You'll often see those pass through Davisville but they're quite rare elsewhere. It's funny the random things we remember from ages ago. Yeah, I wondered about that tunnel too at the end, which is why I went in for a closer look.
This was a requested video, and it was raining, and I live close by otherwise I would have recorded something else. Enough people have watched it to make producing more of these worth my while at least even if they're not always the most interesting.
Lived near Summerhill station in 1967 as a young kid from the UK for the summer. Wondered why we had to cross the road to go down into a 'subway' as those were the names for underground foot road crossings in the UK! Loved going on the trains and the now gone 50's trollybusses which accelerated really fast. Came back to UK at the end of '67 but did return for a holiday in '95. The blue light on the panel on the end of the platform at 11:12 was there in '67 (or a near identical one) as I always remembered seeing it and wondering what it was for. Presumably to show if the track power is on but I was only 5 back then.
Muy bonito video, muy bien grabado e interesante. Felicidades
I still remember the old, squeally and noisy red-coloured trains with the cheap vinyl cushion seats. I also remember that instead of the door open/close chime they had somebody blow a whistle from the train window, instead. I can barely remember old Eglinton station before it was renovated; it was kind of set up like Islington Station is with the seperate bus bays.
Wow, when was that? Eglinton seems like an older station now that could use a refurb. Thanks for sharing.
Johnny, that was back from around the 1950's to the early 2000's, IIRC.
Greetings! Interesting views! Thank you for sharing
Many thanks!
Nice upload my friend , thanks for share!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing video
Looks just slightly nicer than NYC subways.
More like much nicer
Very nice. Very beautiful and so clean train station. Very beautiful Toronto. I like it so much. Amin Awan from Pakistan.
Thank you!
I was borin in Toronto, seeing as it’s basically Canada’s New York and the biggest city in Canada (I believe)
same
Vancouver's catching up bud
@@plain_alejandro it’s still nowhere near Toronto or Montreal
Canada has only one city, it's Toronto. Rest it's just a village's 😂
@@plain_alejandrobarley
Nice Tour. The Stations are much cleaner than the ones in New York City . And I like the way they have the cans set up in the stations. 🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇👍👍👍👍👍.
I was a bit surprised at the state of the stations in NYC... but despite its downsides that system is incredibly well built-out. Toronto was too busy catering to the car to build a proper network system back when it should have and now we're stuck with the half-assed system we have now. That's what happens when you let suburban voters into the fray...
Honestly It's hard to find a subway that is as dirty as NYC subway. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy NYC, but some of its subway stations are disgustingly dirty. I've been on Subways in Toronto, Montreal, NYC, Lille, Brussels, Barcelona & London. None were even close to how dirty some NYC stations are. Yes NYC is a massive subway system, but so is the London Underground, yet London Underderground is kept clean, stations look nice. Plus side to NYC though is the train runs 24/7.
Funny though out of all those subways, Toronto somewhat resembles NYC the most, not because of the dirtiness, but the way the stations are designed, it's got some similarities. Montreal system is actually really nice, some stations are beautifully designed. Toronto design is a bit, meh.
@@JohnnyStrides NYC subway is massive, but at some stations it's filthy, NYC has never been known to be the cleanest of cities though & the subway is pretty well known for being dirty. I mean the Mutant Ninja Turtles use to even live down there😂. Surprisingly today NYC subway is actually a big step up from how they use to look in the 70s & 80s when everything was covered in graffitti from head to toe, even more garbage on the floor, & the trains were breaking down all the time.
@Jonny, to be fair, our city was built in the American fashion in the postwar'50's and '60's while New York was laid out and built the way it was from the _prewar_ 1900's-1940's, so the TTC couldn't be faulted for not having subway lines everywhere like New York has when we didn't have the density to build a big subway network (at least our 'local' lines are our bus routes and streetcar lines, and we would've had Transit City if not for Rob Ford and his subwayitis.)
@@jameschampken770 Paris Metro however, is the most disgusting metro I’ve ever been on. Maybe you left that one out intentionally
Great video!
Thanks!
I was born in Toronto and i like Toronto ❤❤
Born and live in Toronto for almost 60 years. St. Clair station is one of the grungiest lol. So many others are much nicer.
It's not the prettiest that's for sure!
Hey, it has a charm and aesthetic all of its own, much like all of the other subway stations.
Me gusto el Recorrido al Grano.
Thanks!
Great subway system that Toronto has.
You have got to be kidding!!!! With only 2 lines ,antiquated trains ,disruptions ,dirty stations . I suppose the Toronto subway system is good for someone who's lived all their life in a remote mountain village.
@@boobie17 2 lines? False. Dirty stations? Only downtown stations are dirty.
@@boobie17line 3 and line 4: am I a joke to you?
nice tour, you go everywhere, jealous
lol this one was quite closer to where I live (just 2 stops north from St Clair) so since it was rainy and I was feeling lazy it was an easy video to make :)
And plus, I also requested this
@@JohnnyStrides i stay home all day bro ha ha
Wow
That entrance showing the Superstore was different. Does that connect to the P.A.T.H? I've never seen that building before. As always, thanks for posting!
You're welcome! This is in midtown so it's well north of the PATH, that would be awesome if it did though!
@Katie Kat, the PATH only goes up to the Eaton Centre, 10 Dundas Place, and the Atrium on Bay.
Nice Video
Thanks Cindy!
If u can can u do start to end yellow line? 1 Vaughn to finch
Nice tour. What time does the TTC shutdown?
The subway shuts down around 1:30 but then gets replaced by an all-night surface route blue night bus... aka the vomit comet.
The Subway is alot cleaner than Chicago or New York
It is... it's also nowhere near as expansive as NYC's... I do prefer it to Chicago's system though!
@@JohnnyStrides NYC is about $3 US ($3.77 CDN) for a ride. Or $127 US for 30 days ($159.75 CDN).
Toronto about $3.25 CDN ($2.58 US) for a ride or $156 CDN for 30 days. ($124 US).
They arent that much different in price actually, $3 difference on the month passes. Both relatively affordable from my experiences. You can also travel pretty dam far on the NYC subway for as little as $3 US.
London Underground is most expensive I've been on. They charge by zones, if I'm going from East End of the city to the West it can cost me £3.90 ($5.50US...$6.90 CDN) just to get there. If I am even just staying in the London Central area within a few stops it can still cost me £2.90 for a ride. ($4.05 US.... $5.10 CDN)
@@jameschampken770 I think they meant expansive as in how much distance it spans
Oh Lord!! help me enter Canada next month.. June (6)..I pray,Amen..
Good luck! Although I believe the borders are still closed to most non-residents.
I believe...
Goodnight, seeing Toronto is always nice. I remember taking that very subway route to St.Clair. The last bit of the walk was pretty quiet though. There were no people in the subway. My country is just as quiet.
@@frankadamsakii916 Hello! Have you started living there??
@@beactive693 noooo
It looks pretty clean. Are they as hot as NY stations?
They're much cooler!
Which camera used this video
It's a DJI Osmo Pocket.
@@JohnnyStrides thanks
You would have seen me on this video if it was 4 years ago
What does the voice says when the door is opening? 10:45
It says Line 1 for Vaughan.
TTC trains are mostly surface or right below street level. Not those endless escalator rides to the depths of hell that you get in cities like London.
Why does NYC’s subway look like trash and Canada seems to get their trains clean?
A familiar subway entrance with a McDonald's next door on St Clair... Unfortunately the "Schnitzel Hub" just a short walk away on Yonge is now closed. They had the best mushroom soup, and many other yummy things on the menu. They closed right before the pandemic though, so the virus is not to blame
Sad to hear the city lost another gem. There's a few TTC Mcondald's like this one, I believe there's one at Dundas West Station too.
I went to Cne.
Is it just me? Or is it that the Door Closing Chime sounds like the First 3 Notes of Sesame Street
Actually, it almost sounds like the chimes of the NBC (National Broadcasting Company) television network in the United States (that chime's official title is 'GNC', BTW.)
looks cleaner than NYC SUBway
My neiborhood
It's a fantastic area of the city!
What no shooting or stabbings 😮
here in Toronto people come 2 close to you wether they r waiting in line or for the bus.
I have another Station suggestion
Can you do Sheppard West (Downsview) Station
Yeah, I can do there next time I'm out that way. Might not be till later this summer but I'll get to it!
Seems common to have a lot of malls attached to stations
Certainly at the major intersections on the Yonge line it is (Queen/Dundas, College, St Clair, Eglinton, Sheppard, North York, Finch).
@@JohnnyStrides Yorkdale as well?
Johnny, you forgot Yorkdale as well.
Where is the introduction
I don't do them on these really short transit videos, there's not much to talk about lol
@@JohnnyStrides 😢
its so weird that haven't been on the subway since February.
I'm going to miss it like this when things bounce back. It's so quiet and there's no frequent stops because people can't stop hitting the yellow strip.
I haven’t been on the subway since March . I to scared ,..... my anxiety is so awful ... I just can’t right now
Delhi Metro is also have a same Level
It is not crowded
Hello sir
Hello
Great post - but I still find the Toronto subway stations ugly and claustrophobic compared to those in Montreal with their high ceilings and wider platforms - just sayin'
Thanks! I can't say I disagree with you but the frequency of service in Montreal is abysmal (if memory serves me correct) so we got that going for us at least lol
@@JohnnyStrides You're probably right - it's been a long time since I visited and even longer since I lived there - things change..
@@musicus11 from my experience in Montreal, Montreal trains are more spaced apart. Toronto trains during the day are generally alway running every 2-4 mins apart, mostly every 2 minutes in the more busy hours. Late at night they might come every 4-6 mins. I'm not sure how long I've had to wait in Montreal, but I remember thinking sometimes they were longer then I'm use to.
Some Montreal stations are beautiful, most of Toronto stations are a boring design, closer to a NYC design, which arent pretty.
isn't anybody going to talk about the fact that there was a lot of people without face masks!?
This was before they even asked people to.
You can see there's people with masks at that moment
@@emmanuel5817 the lockdowns started on March 17th 2020. They did not start telling everyone to wear masks on public Transit until probably June of 2020, then it took a little while before more & more people started actually wearing them on Transit. This video is at least 9 months old, that gives you your answer.
Anyways the masks are stupid, they should end everyone wearing them, useless. Lol.
You can't be serious...
VEGETABLES
Ttc is completely atrocious .. old , no WIFI , horrible stations and major safety problem
Too many jerks onboard not wearing masks 😷
It cannot be that a country with a good economy has such a horrible subway
What's so horrible about it (relative to other north american cities it's probably the best run... although it is not as expansive as it should be).
@@JohnnyStrides I'm not comparing it to other cities in North America ... I'm just saying that Canada should have a better subway with the economy it has. It is a very old subway, not very modern, with very little space in the stations etc. even subway from south america are better🤷🏻♂️
Don't miss this dump. Smelly seats and crowded rush hour rides. Also got sucker punched by an idiot at Queen station who was yelling at me and calling me "Paki" for no reason. No security around and was early morning going to work.
It's not a dump at all... sorry you had a bad experience but I'd like to here what you consider to NOT be a dump lol
@@JohnnyStrides non smelly seats and security would be a start.
Expensive but very slow 🐌
What? It is pretty fast to me.
@@user-vi6ku5ic2dNope, you didn't ride Moscow or Japanese or Chinese subways. (You reach home faster than cars to your home)
@@youknowmyfirstlastname3206 it's at a decent speed compared to regular transits
@@user-vi6ku5ic2d you was born north America. You can't reach your city a to b sides in 1 hours. Russian subways jork 3 time while speeding if you didn't hold properly (after 3 warning) you stand up next station.
Toronto subway has no Wi Fi in 2023 ...not aesthetic stations and trains .... like the city ... basic
Yet it has so much more to offer than a certain city you seem to love 🤣
Filthy , disgusting subway system ( go take a look at Athens and Copenhagen, you'll feel as if you live in a 3rd World city). Delays ,disruptions ,closure of lines all add to the most negative picture of the Toronto subway system.
