Public Transportation
In the early 2000s a major portion of the shopping centre's parking lot was redeveloped into a large bus terminal as part of the Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC's) Don Mills subway station (the eastern terminus of Toronto's new Sheppard subway line), and also as the southern terminus of York Region Transit's Viva Green bus rapid transit line. A significant number of the TTC's local and express bus routes deploy from or pass through this terminal station, including express buses from nearby Scarborough.
Additionally, for the duration of the closure of nearby Don Mills Shopping Centre from June 2006 to 21 April 2009, a free weekdays shuttle bus service ran between the two shopping centres.

Famous quotes containing the word public:
“George Shears ... was hanged in a barn near the store. The rope was thrown over a beam, and he was asked to walk up a ladder to save the trouble of preparing a drop for him. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I am not used to this business. Shall I jump off or slide off?” He was told to jump.”
