TORONTO
The first phase of a plan to improve transit service to York University in the north end of Toronto was inaugurated last week with a ceremony to mark the end of construction for a $38-million right-of-way for buses to the university from the Downsview subway station.
The second phase is a subway extension into Vaughan, which will include a station at York University to be completed by 2015.
