Today we celebrated the transformation of Vaughan with the official opening of the newest bus rapid transit (BRT) rapidway segment and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre [VMC] Station on Highway 7 West.

This Sunday, December 17 — less than a week — is the opening of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre [VMC] transit hub, which includes the opening for service of the TTC Line 1 Subway Extension.

The vivaNext rapid transit project will benefit the entire community. The VMC transit hub opening goes a long way to help support the considerable growth in York Region and the City of Vaughan for generations to come.
