Toronto Subway Stations?

Question

Why did central stations look like restrooms and why did expansion stations have beautiful art on them?

Answer 1

Because they are slowly upgrading the stations.  You will notice that the high traffic ones (like at Queen & Yonge) have the artwork.

Answer 2

I'm agreeing with Tracy M.

Also, College station has paintings of Hockey Teams (Toronto Maple Leafs) and i think they have the Montreal Canadiens on there. Not 100% sure.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what you mean by central vs expansion stations.  Queen does have some nice art and it's very central.  Museum was just redone and it's beautiful.  I think they try to balance look with practical things like being able to clean the stations.
