HISTORY Up until 1971, Warden was a fare zone. The mezzanine of the station had ticket booths between the bus bays and the subway platforms. Even today, you can see from the station layout, where the ticket booths were placed. In 1971 the City cancelled the fare zone system, and the booths were removed. Although one booth still remains in its original location as an information booth. |
