Just in time for Christmas, you'll be able to ride the subway from Vaughan to downtown Toronto.

The Toronto Transit Commission has announced that service on the Toronto York Spadina Subway Extension will begin on Dec. 17.

It's the long-awaited, multi-billion-dollar connection between the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station at Jane Street and Hwy. 7 and the rest of Toronto.

Many years in the making and plagued by construction delays and cost overruns, the service is expected to carry at least 100,000 passengers a year to and from the VMC.

The 8.6-kilometre extension north from Downsview station, with connections at York University and Hwy. 407 among others, is the longest in almost 40 years.

The extension will connect with York Region's VIVA rapid transitway and potential GO Transit services along Hwy. 407.
