[2] Despite its proximity to downtown Toronto, it is one of the lesser used stations in the subway system, averaging only 4,875 riders daily in 2023–2024[3].
This reflects the fact that no high volume surface bus routes connect to the station and the affluent Rosedale neighbourhood has a lower population density and lacks major destinations.

This was rejected by the TTC on the grounds that it would negatively affect passengers and bus operations, while providing no transit benefits, and eliminate any potential long term development of the site, which is contrary to a stated policy of encouraging development at subway stations.
