Main Street is a station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 2550 Danforth Avenue at Main Street. It was opened in 1968. 350 metres to the south, Main Street connects to Danforth station on GO Transit's Lakeshore East railway line.
'Main Street' was the main street of the suburban town of East Toronto, which was amalgamated into Toronto in 1908. Unlike most TTC stations, its name includes the word 'Street' in order to avoid the possible misreading that it is the subway's 'main' station.
Just east of Main street station, the tracks angle north away from Danforth Avenue. Just west of the Victoria Park station, the tracks emerge to run on the surface.
