The extension will include three subway stations in York Region: Pioneer Village Station (formerly Steeles West Station), Highway 407 Station, and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) Station. Each of the stations in York Region will have a bus terminal. Commuter parking lots will be located at Pioneer Village Station with 1,850 spaces, and at Highway 407 Station with 600 spaces. The subway extension is scheduled to be complete by the fall of 2016 and the existing surface bus network will be restructured to connect with the subway stations where applicable. The alignment of the proposed subway is shown in Figure 9. YORK REGION TRANSIT REGION YORK PLAN SERVICE ANNUAL 2015 140 2015 Annual Service Plan
