- Directions
-
Downtown, next to the Voyageur/Greyhound inter-city bus
terminal. West side of Bay street, 4 doors north of
Dundas street, 4th floor, suite 406.
The #6 "Bay" bus stops at the intersection of Bay &
Dundas; the southbound stop is right in front of the building.
The #505 "Dundas" streetcar stops at the intersection of
Bay & Dundas, across the street.
Dundas subway station is a smidgen nearer than St. Patrick
station. The underground PATH system connects Dundas subway
station to Bay street. You can cross Bay underground if you
detour through the bus terminal. From there, you must exit at
street level to enter TFN's building.
- Doorbell after hours
-
The TFN office is located inside the building at 600 Bay street.
The office is open Tues & Thurs, noon-8pm but the building door
is open during conventional business hours (M-F, 9-5) and locked
after-hours.
If the building door is locked when you arrive, please either
ring TFN's doorbell, located to the right of the exterior building door,
or phone the office. Someone will come down to let you in.
It does take some time to descend from the 4th floor but, if no one
shows up after a couple of minutes, we may have been momentarily out of
the office when you rang, so please ring again.
- The poster box
-
You can pick up posters and other printed advertising from the stand
in front of the office door.
Thus, you can pick up posters while the office is closed. You can
enter the 600 Bay street building during conventional business hours.
- Accessibility
-
The building is over a century old and not designed for accessibility.
- The elevator requires a human operator (it is
manually operated and, also, its doors are not electrified).
TFN office staff know how to operate it; just ask.
- Wheelchair obstacle: a ledge in front of the exterior building
door. It is 1.2 inches (3.0 cm) high and is
located about 2 feet (60 cm) out from the door.
This puts the TFN doorbell out of wheelchair reach unless you
can wheel yourself over that bump, so try phoning the office
from a cellphone or payphone.
- Bathrooms: the building has no wheelchair accessible bathrooms.
- Payphones
-
- One door north of the office, inside the inter-city bus terminal,
surrounding the central staircase that leads upstairs from the
ground floor.
- Across the street from the office, in the Atrium-on-Bay building
(northwest corner of Bay & Dundas), to the right of the escalator
at ground level.
