# New success for SYSTRA on the Toronto subway

SYSTRA Canada is strengthening its presence on the creation of the Ontario Line
by being entrusted with the role of integrator for the group, led by the OTG
(Ontario Transit Group) consortium, made up of Ferrovial and Vinci.

We have been working alongside this constructor since January 2023 to manage the
integration and safety activities for the Southern Civils works section of the
line. This is the third major success for SYSTRA in Toronto in the space of four
years.

### A new lease of life for mobility in Toronto

The new Ontario Line will link Ontario Place in the south to the Science Centre
in the north, serving the city centre and connecting with the two existing
[subway lines](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/metro/).

The creation of this new subway line is a major improvement for the residents of
Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park, Liberty Village and Fort York, who will have
direct and rapid access to the city centre. More than 255,000 people will be
within a 10-minute walk of the stations, potentially taking 28,000 cars off the
roads every day and reducing ridership at the most congested stations by 14%
(Union station) and even 22% (Bloor/Yonge station).

_Future Osgoode station_

To blend in better with the urban fabric, more than half of the line will be
built underground, particularly the section in the city centre. With projected
ridership of almost 400,000 passengers a day, the Ontario line will become the
new backbone of the Toronto subway, with 90-second intervals between trains
during rush hour. The project also includes the creation of a maintenance
workshop and a cluster of garages.

The new line is due to come into service in Toronto in 2030.
