The station was opened in 1980, and is located east of the [[Kennedy Road (Toronto)|Kennedy Road]] and [[Eglinton Avenue]] intersection. It is the terminal station for both lines.<ref name=ttc>{{cite web|title=TTC Kennedy Station|url=http://www.ttc.ca/Subway/Stations/Kennedy/station.jsp#StationDescription_|website=Toronto Transit Commission|accessdate=21 August 2014}}</ref> With the adjacent [[Kennedy GO station]] on the [[Stouffville line]] of [[GO Transit]], Kennedy is an [[Intermodal passenger transport|intermodal]] transit hub and the fifth busiest station in the system, after [[St. George (TTC)|St. George]], [[Bloor-Yonge (TTC)|Bloor-Yonge]], [[Sheppard-Yonge (TTC)|Sheppard-Yonge]], and [[Union (TTC)|Union]], serving a total of approximately {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{TTC ridership|Kennedy-2}}+{{TTC ridership|Kennedy-3}}}}}} customer trips a day. The station's main complex consists of four floors with [[accessibility|wheelchair accessible]] entrances. The ground level is the bus terminal surrounded with ten platforms that serve eleven [[Toronto Transit Commission]] (TTC) bus routes. Wi-Fi service is available at this station. <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://tconnect.ca/our-stations/|title=OUR STATIONS - TCONNECT.ca|newspaper=TCONNECT.ca|language=en-US|access-date=2016-12-21}}</ref> The station is to be overhauled and expanded over the next decade as Line 3 will be decommissioned once the extension of Line 2 to [[Scarborough City Centre]] has been completed. The future light rail line, [[Line 5 Eglinton]], will terminate at the station when its first phase opens in 2020.<ref name=crosstown>{{cite web|title=Kennedy Station - Crosstown|url=http://www.thecrosstown.ca/the-project/stations-and-stops/kenndey-station|website=Eglinton Crosstown|accessdate=21 August 2014}}</ref> The city's [[SmartTrack|proposed commuter rail line]] is also planned to connect at Kennedy. Installation of new [[Presto card|Presto]] paddle-door fare gates at this station was completed on December 9, 2016. It was the first interchange subway station to have its turnstiles replaced by the new fare gates.<ref>http://www.ttc.ca/Fares_and_passes/PRESTO/PRESTO_Subway.jsp</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/PRESTOcard?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor</ref> ==Station features== [[Image:Kennedy Station Toronto.jpg|left|thumb|240px|SRT leaving the station, showing the sharp curve that would complicate replacing the SRT with heavy rail.]] The station is located south of [[Eglinton Avenue]], east of [[Kennedy Road (Toronto)|Kennedy Road]]. The station complex consists of four levels. The [[S-series|S-series trains]] of Line 3 Scarborough ascend via a bridge to the platform located at the top level of the station complex. The ground floor (third floor) consists of ten bus platforms surrounding the main building. Four satellite pedestrian entrances to the station can be found at the South Parking Lot, next to the Don Montgomery Community Centre, at the [[frontage road|service road]] of Eglinton Avenue, and the passenger pick-up and drop-off roundabout on Transway Crescent. Below the ground level is the concourse that spans the length of the station, connecting to all pedestrian entrances. Below the concourse is the platform for subway trains on the Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. Although Line 3 trains are bidirectionally-operated metro trains, the tracks for Line 3 extends beyond the top floor platform into an above-ground [[balloon loop|turning loop]], similar to those found on the [[Toronto streetcar system]]. This was because Line 3 had been planned as a dedicated [[right-of-way]] streetcar line, rather than a metro line. As such, the top-floor platform was designed to operate streetcars. Line 3 was later built as a [[medium-capacity rail transport system|medium-capacity rail transport]] line to use the [[Bombardier Innovia Metro|Intermediate Capacity Transit System]] train models built by [[Bombardier Transportation]]. The line began using two-car trains, which were able to travel along the turning loop, but was later converted to use four-car trains, which could not be operated along the tight loop. Thus, the use of the loop was discontinued after 1988, although the loop's bridge structure remains over the passenger pick-up and drop-off building. The station platform was reduced to a single track and began using the [[Spanish solution]] of unloading and boarding passengers at Kennedy. Original floor finishing and platform edge markings for the planned light rail can also be seen along the current tracks. {{multiple image | align = centre | width = 240 | footer = Original design was to have SRT trains loop at the west end of the station, but the single track now provides access to the trains from platforms on both sides | image1 = Kennedy TTC loop end.JPG | image2 = Kennedy TTC 3010.JPG }} Four [[park and ride]] lots, that have a combined total of 1135 spaces, are located around the station. == Bus terminal == [[File:Kennedy Station Bus Platform.jpg|right|thumb|Bus platform level of the station]] {{Main|List of Toronto Transit Commission bus routes}} There are 10 platforms for its 11 routes at the station.
