FAQS

Is there parking at York University subway station?

No, there is no parking available at York University subway station itself. The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) does not manage any parking facilities at that station.

Why is it called Osgoode Station?

Osgoode Station is named after the nearby Osgoode Hall, which itself is named for William Osgoode, the first chief justice of Upper Canada [Wikipedia: Osgoode station]. So it’s a two-part naming convention, honoring a historical figure through a significant building.
