The Bloor–Danforth line (officially Route 2 Bloor–Danforth Subway) is a rapid transit line of the Toronto subway and RT, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission. It has 31 stations and is 26.2 km in length. It opened on February 25, 1966, and extensions at both ends were completed in 1968 and again in 1980. It is also numbered as Route 2 (formerly route 601), but its route number is used primarily for internal purposes and is rarely shown on public maps or signs. The line runs primarily a few metres north of Bloor Street (and parallel to it) from its western terminus at Kipling Avenue to the Prince Edward Viaduct east of Castle Frank Road, after which the street continues as Danforth Avenue. Just east of Main Street, the line begins to deviate north from Danforth Road and runs grade-separated until its eastern terminus, slightly east of Kennedy Road on Eglinton Avenue.
