Yes, there's a tunnel that runs to the terminal. If you remember how the station was originally laid out with the tunnel and stairs up to the old Kiss n Ride, that tunnel got extended.

Part of the tunnel system wasn't extended, but 100% remove. That why the PPUDO roof was move so it could be place later near the old location since there will be no cars around it like before. The old driveway was rebuilt with the east section on about 45 angle to the west of the PPUDO.

The n-s tunnel remain as is as well to the old Subway Cr stairs. Those tunnels were upgraded as well waterproof before being cover over. A new tunnel was built to the new location of the PPUDO from the Hub and then to the N-S tunnel. NFITZ map show the location of the bend. Surprise Google got the bend right. since it underground now. From what I saw and not sure if it right, but the tunnel dips going toward the HUB. Will know better when I get the chance to use it in 2021 after it is finish.

It Open!!

You can now walk freely around the whole area as all the fences have been remove and the old sidewalk is close off. There are still fences up where work still has to take place, but doesn't interfere with walking around. You can drive into the parking lot as well.

Crews were cleaning the area up as well removing tools and other stuff from the tunnel.

Can't tell if the PPUDO elevator working or not as crews were working inside of it.

A number of large banners on the Hub fence showing arrow to TTC and miWay.

Asked a number of question for the person supervising the crews, but go no reply to them.

The poured concrete pavements appear to have been overused. Some pavers and planting areas would have made for better public spaces here. It's a rather uninspired urban design plan overall. You'd think the concrete plazas might have some programming on the weekends like a crafts or farmer's market, but I doubt it based on how little effort was put into it.

Let's hope they have departure time boards all along the pedestrian tunnel, like they have at the airport. And that the buses actually will leave at the indicated time.

This way, commuters won't need to rely on smartphone apps since not everyone would have a smartphone with a sufficient cellular data plan.
 
Happy New Year everyone and hope 2021 is a hell lot better than 2020.

Sorry to say, no displays in the tunnel or anywhere outside the HUB for the buses. Displays inside the HUB.

On Jan 4, all able body walkers will be using the tunnel between the Hub and PPUDO and the PPUDO stair to/from TTC.

The PPUDO elevator floor is about 3.7 cm below the tunnel floor with the doors open. Is it 100% operational, I can not tell.

There are maps at the Hub and TTC main entrance showing how accessibility riders, people with strollers, walkers or need to use an elevator that they must use the Hub main entrance and the walkway between the Hub and TTC to get to/from the Hub until the elevator is working.

There is also signs in the Hub telling riders there is no elevator in service at the PPUDO and how to get to TTC if they need to use an elevator.

The doors to the Hub Main entrance lock, but the door to the old Subway Cr stair and tunnel wide open. Very little has change in the existing tunnel until you get to the new tunnel for the Hub and PPUDO. That is one wide and dipping tunnel with a nice ceiling height.

Peaking through the crack between the construction doors for the tunnel section close off at this time, it could be late Jan or Feb before that tunnel section can be open. There is no floor tile between the new tunnel and TTC fare area and work taking place for the ceiling. Real hard to say what still needs to be done for the close tunnel as the crack needs to be wider for a better view.

Not surprise at the moving of 3E stop for Dundas and would be if the stop remain as is.

As for 26 stopping between the Hub and Islington, the right thing to do like any route that use TTC stops for drop off or pickup.

Unless I miss it, no fare machine in the Hub to load funds to your Presto card as well an balance checker. Can get your GO ticket from the fare machine on the walkway and 2 there.

As it stands now, parking will be free for the north lot as there are no machines to buy a day pass like other lots there.

There are washrooms at the HUB.

The driveway tonight was block off with pylons.

As per design or ordered so by people who don't use public transit, of course.

If you love opening doors, you will love the HUB amount doors.

Never though of doing a video of my tour other photographing it.

That video miss a lot of things as I shot all areas other than the bus and GO platform yesterday. Already shot the GO platform.

TTC PPUDO will be the weak line since there is only 1 elevator there while the HUB has 6 with 2 at all location. The PPUDO will not be in service on Jan 4

Look what I found in the tunnel from the Old Subway Cr stair on Dec 31/20

It's already open to walk through but without service? Can anyone confirm this?
