[edit] Public art

The public art installed in this station are various perspective-cheating trompe l'oeil illustrations on the walls and the floors by Toronto artist Panya Clark Espinal (compare [2] to [3]).

[edit] Bus terminal

Bayview station does not have an integrated bus terminal, but it is served by the 11 Bayview outside the station. Passengers can also switch to the 85 Sheppard East, though a transfer is not valid for this route.

[edit] Surface connections

No bus directly connects to this station, but the Sheppard bus stops along the station exit and transfers are required to board these buses:

85 Sheppard East
11 Bayview

[edit] Future expansion

No plans for future expansion are in the works. Access or link to Bayview Village is the only likely candidate for the growth of the station. The station is too close to Sheppard and Yonge to warrant a bus terminal at this time.
