Warden is a station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth of the Toronto subway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at the southeast corner of St. Clair Avenue East and Warden Avenue. The station is located perpendicular to St. Clair Avenue East, and is the only Line 2 station with a north–south alignment. The station opened in 1968 and was the eastern terminus of the line until 1980.
920 parking spaces are located at this station for commuter use, all of them in the North Lot on the north side of St. Clair Avenue.
When the station opened, it had a two-level bus terminal with a concourse on the upper level and nine bus bays at ground level. Each bay had separate stairways for riders to access the concourse, where there would be lighted signs showing the bus route and whether a bus was waiting below on a platform. The concourse had several retail outlets.
Until 1973, TTC buses and subway trains serving the station were in separate fare zones and so the turnstiles and collector booths were placed between the bus bays and the subway platforms. When the zones were abolished, the layout was reconfigured to bring the buses inside the station's fare-paid area; one collector booth, left isolated inside the fare-paid zone, became an information booth.
Work started in 2022 to rebuild the bus terminal and make the station accessible. The station is one of the last subway stations yet to be made accessible, due to the complexity of the station layout and its multiple levels. In November 2023, the south parking lot was closed to convert it into a construction site. A temporary open-air bus terminal opened on January 5, 2025, freeing up the old bus terminal in advance of its demolition and permanent replacement. Elevators within the station are expected to be in service by mid-2025. A new bus terminal is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
Both commuter parking lots at the station are proposed to be redeveloped by the city government. In October 2021, the city announced that agreement had been reached with Tridel to build 600 residential units and a child care centre on the north parking lot.
There is a crossover west of the station from when it was Line 2's eastern terminus which is still used occasionally to short turn trains. There is also a small siding and storage shed west of the crossover on the south side of the above-ground tracks, which continue along the track bed of the former CNR line all the way to Victoria Park station.
The temporary bus terminal is located on the east side of Warden Avenue, south of St. Clair Avenue. The bus bays are numbered from 1 to 8 from south to north. Four of the bays (1, 6, 7, 8) are located on the east curb of Warden Avenue. The other four bays (3, 4, 5, 6) are located in an adjacent, former parking lot. The temporary bus terminal is outside of the station's fare-paid area.
