McCowan is a terminal station on the Scarborough RT line of the Toronto subway and RT. It is located at 1275 McCowan Road, just north of Ellesmere Road at Bushby Drive/Town Centre Court.
Both of the surface routes that pass the McCowan station also stop at Scarborough Centre station, located almost directly across McCowan Road, effectively leaving McCowan as a dead-end in the system.
The station is on three levels, the Scarborough RT is on the upper floor, the automatic entrance from the Consilium Place office complex via the Pedway pedestrian walkway is on the second floor, and the station entrance from McCowan Road with the collector, and the concourse are on the lower floor.
A 2006 TTC staff report that recommended that the RT be upgraded using new-generation vehicles noted that the replacement of the RT by an extension of the Bloor–Danforth line would involve the elimination of this station.
