Bathurst is a subway station on the Bloor–Danforth line in Toronto, Canada. The station, which opened in 1966, is located on Bathurst Street just north of Bloor Street West. It is a major transfer point for both bus and streetcar routes, including the 511 Bathurst route, which provides services to Exhibition Place, Ontario Place, and the Canadian National Exhibition.

The ticket collector and turnstiles are in the station building at the surface, which puts streetcar and bus platforms within the fare paid zone. The opening of the elevators in January 2000 made the station fully accessible.^[2] Elevators provide access between the eastbound platform and concourse, and between the westbound platform and street level via the concourse. There are also regular stairway and escalator connections between all levels.

Nearby landmarks

The station serves The Annex and Koreatown neighbourhoods. Nearby landmarks include St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, Honest Ed's, and the Bathurst Street Theatre.

Parkette

Ed & Anne Mirvish Parkette
Location	819 Bathurst St, Toronto
Coordinates	43°40′00″N 79°24′41.4″W / 43.66667°N 79.411500°W / 43.66667; -79.411500
Operated by	Toronto Parks

The piece of land between the main station building and Bathurst Street, encircled by the streetcar loop tracks, is used by the City of Toronto as a public park. Previously named "Bathurst Subway Parkette", a ceremony took place on September 22, 2008 to rename the park "Ed & Anne Mirvish Parkette". Ed Mirvish had been a well known local businessman whose landmark Honest Ed's discount store, is located nearby at the southwest corner of Bloor Street and Bathurst Street. The Mirvish family had requested an appropriate commemoration to Ed, who had died on July 11, 2007 ^[3] and the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division recommended the renaming of this parkette as an opportunity to honour Ed and his wife Anne, who were both a positive influence on the community.^[4]
