‘Union Station handles more people traffic than Pearson International Airport, more in fact, than any other building in Canada.’ Union Station Masterplan, 2004. A multi-modal transit hub, public space, and urban gateway, Union Station was conceived in 1905, inspired by the City Beautiful tradition and rendered in Beaux Arts style. It serves 1/4 million passengers per day, linking trans-continental, inter-city, and regional trains with 4 subway lines, 11 streetcar routes, and an extensive bus network.http://www.toronto.ca/union_station/union_rev.htmhttp://www.viarail.ca/enhttp://www.viarail.ca/enhttp://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/Default.aspxshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3
