The 29 Dufferin bus which serves the station provides service to Exhibition Place, Ontario Place, and the Canadian National Exhibition.
This station has some notriety among law enforcement; reportedly, drug dealers like the station because it provides multiple escape routes, with an underground walkway and frequent trains.
There is a very short section of bored tunnel at or near the point where the line passes under Dovercourt Road.
