Queen's Quay-Ferry Docks is the only dedicated underground streetcar station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada not part of an existing station on the city's subway/RT system (streetcars travel underground to meet subway trains at Union, Spadina, and St. Clair West stations). It opened in 1990 as part of the former Harbourfront LRT route. Located in a streetcar subway, the station is now served by the 509 Harbourfront and 510 Spadina routes.
North of this station, the lines enter an underground loop at Union TTC station, below Union Station, the city's main railway station; to the south, they emerge from the tunnel onto Queen's Quay, where they run west in reserved lanes as far as Spadina Avenue, where the two routes diverge; the 509 continues west to Exhibition Place, while the 510 turns north towards Spadina TTC station.
This station serves Queen's Quay Terminal, the Toronto Island Ferry Docks, WaterPark Place, and Westin Harbour Castle.
Queens Quay station is only station in Toronto which does not have any employee washrooms nor an employee lunchroom.
