The City of Toronto has been working a while on preparing the city's first BikeStation at Union Station - a secure bike parking facility aimed at the hundreds of thousands of people who come in to downtown Toronto via train to work each day. Most of these people hop on the TTC for a short trip to somewhere in the downtown core, so the city is hoping to entice some of these workers to bike to work from Union station by providing economical and secure bike parking with the BikeStation.

* 24-hour secure bicycle parking (card entry)
