**TTC DIRECTIONS TO GMM**
FROM FINCH STN
- #60C or 60D Steeles bus from Finch station to Dufferin. Bus
departure frequency is approx every four minutes
FROM DOWNSVIEW
- #105 from Downsview north to Steeles. If you get off at Steeles you
do not need extra fare. Leaves at 1pm, 1.30, 2pm. Returning
southbound bus stops at Steeles approx every 10 minutes from 5.10pm
- #117 North from Downsview is another option, but it is not 100%
clear if the 117 or the 117A is what gets you to Dufferin and Steeles.
Take at your own risk.
NOTE: Both the 117 and the 117A Alness go to Steeles and Dufferin from Downsview subway station. They leave at 1pm, 1:20pm, 1:40pm, 2pm, 2:20pm, 2:40pm. This is a slightly longer ride than the 105 Dufferin North which goes directly from Downsview to Dufferin and Steeles. It leaves Downview at 1pm, 1:30pm, and 2pm, 2:30pm.
FROM CAMPUS
- #41 to Keele and Steeles, then grab a #60 eastbound to Dufferin (the
walk is ~15-20 minutes from Keele and Steeles to Dufferin and Steeles)
- #60 Steeles East to Dufferin (stops at North West Gate farside, at
OPP 2700 farside, Founders farside, Ian MacDonald at Chimneystack,
Founders at Steeles Ave West), again very frequent pick up.
-#60C Steeles West. It would pick people up at the NE corner of York Blvd (Canarctic) and
Keele St. and would go east along Steeles. You would disembark at Dufferin.
