The entire TTC system will be free for riders Sunday to celebrate the opening of the new Line 1 extension. The extension, which was unveiled in a ceremony Friday, will open to the public — and subway service — Sunday morning. The six stops on the 8.6-kilometre line reach to York University and beyond, ending at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. “We want everyone to be a part of history and experience the opening of the new Line 1 extension and see how beautiful and inspiring these new stations really are,” said Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca in a written statement Saturday. “The opening of the Toronto-York subway extension is the single greatest transit achievement for this region in my lifetime.”Read more:New $3.2B subway extension will improve ‘life for hardworking people,’ Trudeau says
