South of St. Clair Avenue West buses operate every 11 minutes instead of every 10 minutes from about 3 until 10 p.m. Mondays to Fridays.

All day Mondays to Fridays, the TTC interlines buses operating on the 71 Runnymede and 77 Swansea routes, so any changes affect both routes.

77 Swansea

Buses operate every 11 minutes instead of every 10 minutes from about 3 until 7 p.m. Mondays to Fridays.

Adjust the schedule of current routes

71 Runnymede

Starting Tuesday, August 4 the TTC is adjusting the schedule during Monday-to-Friday rush hours and during the midday period to improve the reliability of the service.

Until about 3 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, the TTC is maintaining the current frequency of service, but buses will leave stops at different times than they do currently.

The TTC is also decreasing the frequency of service along the route during Monday-to-Friday afternoon rush hours and early evenings.

Transit agencies often interline one or more routes that share a common terminal to save resources — drivers and vehicles. In this case, a northbound bus operating on the 77 Swansea route Mondays to Fridays ends its trip at Runnymede Station. It then leaves the station along the 71 Runnymede route. The TTC operates the two routes separately on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
