A three-year closure of the TTC's Warden Station bus terminal kicked off at the start of the year, and much of the former station has been reduced to rubble as of mid-March 2025.

The transit agency shut down the former bus terminal effective January 5, 2025, to launch a long-term project to demolish the aging concrete structure and replace it with a modern, accessible station and bus terminal. 

The new Warden Station bus terminal will feature two new elevators linking passengers between a pick-up/drop-off area, the station's concourse level, and the subway platforms below.

Other features of the new bus terminal will include improved signage and wayfinding to allow for easier navigation of the station.

Since the closure began, the station has been served by a temporary bus terminal occupying the former south commuter parking lot, along with four additional bus stops outside of Warden Station.

Commuters relying on pick-up and drop-off are now using a temporary waiting lot just off Warden Avenue, south of the temporary bus terminal.

Just over two months into the process, demolition has ripped away large sections of the former bus terminal's exterior.

Warden Station first opened its doors on May 10, 1968, just shy of 57 years ago as of early 2025.

Demolition has exposed areas of the building to sunlight for the first time since the building was constructed.

The Brutalist-meets-Modernism architectural details of the terminal's interior can easily be seen by passersby as heavy machinery tears away sections of concrete exterior walls.

The project was previously anticipated to be completed in 2026. This timeline has been pushed back, and the new station is now expected to be done by the end of 2027. 

However, the TTC stated earlier this year that "construction schedules are subject to change," and knowing the way transit projects typically unfold in this city, that warning could prove prophetic in the months or years to come.
