On February 1, 1897, the Metropolitan line was opened to Richmond Hill ending at a station located on Yonge Street at Lorne Avenue. Each one-way trip between the Toronto terminal (at the CPR crosstown line) to Richmond Hill took 45 minutes (versus 3 hours for the stagecoach), and there were 4 round trips per day.[4] (In 2016, Triplix, a regional trip planner, shows that the same trip from Summerhill subway station to Lorne Avenue in Richmond Hill using the subway and Viva would take a little over an hour.)
In 1897, the company's name changed again from the Metropolitan Street Railway Company to the Metropolitan Railway Company.[9] With the extension to Richmond Hill, the line was now more a radial line than a street railway.[4]"
