Starting Tuesday, February 17, the TTC operates an eastbound bus on a new trip along the route early Monday mornings. The bus leaves Bloor Street West east of The East Mall at 5:33 a.m. Mondays. It ends its trip in Broadview Station.

By operating a bus on this new trip, the TTC makes its overnight service more consistent, matching its Sunday overnight schedule with its Monday-to-Friday overnight schedule.

37 Islington

Starting Tuesday, February 17, the TTC operates extra northbound buses along the route from Islington Station from about 2:30 until 3 p.m. The extra buses start rush-hour service along the route and increase the frequency of northbound service.

12 Kingston Rd

Starting Tuesday, February 17, the TTC operates westbound buses on two new extra trips along the route for passengers traveling from Blessed Cardinal Newman Catholic High School. The buses leave Kingston Road just west of Brimley Road at 2:45 and 2:55 p.m. Monday-to-Friday school days.

The bus leaves Morningside Avenue south of Neilson Road at 4:50 a.m. It ends its trip in Kennedy Station bus terminal in time for passengers to connect with the first westbound train along the 2 Bloor - Danforth subway line. The train leaves Kennedy at 5:43 a.m.

The TTC is also adjusting the schedule for buses operating along the route.

85 Sheppard East

In mid-March, the Toronto Zoo remains open until 7 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, so the TTC is extending the hours of service for buses that drop off and pick up passengers at the zoo. Starting Saturday, March 14, the last bus leaves the zoo at about 7 p.m. for Don Mills Station and Rouge Hill GO Station.

86 Scarborough local

During March break, the Toronto Zoo temporarily revises its hours and remains open until 7 p.m. seven days a week. From Monday, March 16 until Friday, March 20, the last bus leaves the Zoo at about 7 p.m. for Kennedy Station.

The TTC is also increasing the frequency of service along the local and express branches of the route.

Friday, February 13 is the last day that the TTC operates the extra northbound bus that usually leaves Overlea Boulevard west of Don Mills Road at 3:28 p.m. Mondays to Fridays. (The bus serves passengers traveling from Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute and Valley Park Middle School.)

Increasing the frequency of service along routes

100 Flemingdon Park

Since the City of Toronto canceled a construction project on Broadview Avenue, the TTC is increasing the frequency along the route and restoring service to previous levels.

Starting Tuesday, February 17, buses drop off or pick up passengers at stops Mondays to Fridays during morning rush hours:

• west of Don Mills Road / Eglinton Avenue East every 13 minutes, instead of every 14minutes 40 seconds;
• east and south of Don Mills / Eglinton every 3 minutes 15 seconds, instead of every 3 minutes 40 seconds; and
• between St. Dennis Drive / Linkwood Lane and Grenoble Drive / Spanbridge Road, where buses operate along the separate 100A and 100B branches of the route, every 13 minutes, instead of every 14 minutes 40 seconds.

37 Islington

The TTC extends northbound afternoon rush-hour service along to start earlier than usually - at about 2:30 p.m. Mondays to Fridays. It’s operating extra buses along the route from Islington Station

The TTC is operating articulated - or “bendy” - buses along local branches of the route at all times Mondays to Fridays. Since the 18-metre (or 60-foot) articulated buses are longer than regular 12-metre (or 40-foot) buses, they carry more passengers. Accordingly, the TTC is decreasing the frequency of service along the local branches of the route.

Starting Tuesday, February 17, the TTC is also increasing the frequency of service along the express branch of the route to provide extra service to passengers Mondays to Fridays during rush hours.

Buses drop off or pick up passengers at express stops along the route:

Decreasing the frequency of service along routes

41 Keele local

The TTC is operating articulated - or “bendy” - buses along local branches of the route at all times Mondays to Fridays. Since the 18-metre (or 60-foot) articulated buses are longer than regular 12-metre (or 40-foot) buses, they carry more passengers. Accordingly, the TTC is decreasing the frequency of service along the route.

Starting Tuesday, February 17, buses drop off or pick up passengers at local stops along the route:

• every 10 minutes 45 seconds, instead of every 8½ minutes, during morning rush hours;

To provide extra service to passengers, the TTC is also increasing the frequency of service along the express branch of the route.

504 King

The TTC is increasing the running time - the time that drivers need to complete a round trip along the route Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Increasing the running time, the TTC says, increases the reliability of the service. However, it also slightly decreases the frequency of service along the route.

Starting Sunday, February 15, buses drop off or pick up passengers at stops along the route:

• every 12 minutes, instead of every 11 minutes, Sundays and holidays before 8 a.m.;
• every 6 minutes, instead of every 5 minutes 40 seconds, from about 8 a.m. until noon;
• every 6 minutes 15 seconds, instead of every 6 minutes, from about noon until 7 p.m.;

• every 9 minutes, instead of every 8 minutes, after about 10 p.m.

The TTC is also making another change to service along the route.

165 Weston Rd North

The TTC is increasing the running time - the time that drivers need to complete a round trip along the route Mondays to Fridays. Increasing the running time, the TTC says, increases the reliability of the service. However, it also slightly decreases the frequency of service along the route.

Mondays to Fridays from about 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., buses drop off or pick up passengers at these stops:

• every 4½ minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 15 seconds.

41 Keele local

Starting Tuesday, February 17, the TTC operates articulated - or “bendy” - buses along local branches of the route at all times Mondays to Fridays.
