Commute Planning from North Vaughan
Updated
Drive times depend on time of day and construction. Rather than promise numbers, this guide shows how to test your own route.
By car
Teston Road and Major Mackenzie Drive connect west–east toward Highway 400. Test the trip at your actual departure time on a weekday, in both directions.
By GO train
Maple and Rutherford stations on the Barrie line are the nearest GO rail stops. Check current schedules and parking with GO Transit; frequency varies by time of day.
By subway
TTC Line 1 reaches Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. Plan the first leg — car, bus or GO — and check parking or transit connections.
Route test steps
- Pick your real destination and arrival time
- Run the drive in a map app for that weekday time
