TTC revises services, May 10



The TTC is starting to implement some of the promises from the City of Toronto and TTC 2015 budgets, including “ten-minutes-or-better” more frequent service and “all-day, everyday” service along several routes this week. Although the improvements officially start tomorrow, Sunday, May 10, most changes affect Monday-to-Friday service, meaning they come into effect Monday, May 11.

(Unfortunately, due to an ongoing family situation, which, fortunately, ends this week, we won’t be providing our usual detailed look at the changes — although we will do so in the near future.)

In the meantime, you can review the TTC’s official service changes page, here, or Steve Munro’s usual excellent report on the changes here.


The TTC is revising service along these routes: 2 Bloor - Danforth subway; 6 Bay; 7 Bathurst; 17 Birchmount; 23 Dawes; 24 Victoria Park; 25 Don Mills; 32 Eglinton West; 35 Jane; 38 Highland Creek; 41E Keele express; 44 Kipling South; 45 Kipling; 47 Lansdowne; 60F Steeles West express; 63 Ossington; 72 Pape; 75 Sherbourne; 84 Sheppard West; 85 Sheppard East; 86 Scarborough; 89 Weston; 92 Woodbine South; 95E York Mills express; 100 Flemingdon Park; 101 Downsview Park; 102 Markham Rd; 108 Downsview; 116 Morningside; 123 Shorncliffe; 129 McCowan North; 134 Progress; 141 Downtown / Mt Pleasant express; 145 Downtown / Humber Bay express; 161 Rogers Rd; 165 Weston Rd North; 172 Cherry St; 191 Highway 27 rocket; 192 Airport rocket; 195 Jane rocket; 196 York University rocket; 198 U of T Scarborough rocket; 504 King; 505 Dundas; 506 Carlton; 509 Harbourfront; 510 Spadina; 511 Bathurst;


Specifically it’s: canceling branches of routes; increasing service along routes; decreasing service along routes; increasing the frequency of service along routes; decreasing the frequency of service along routes; revising services to and from colleges and universities; resuming seasonal services; adjusting the schedule for buses operating along a route; and making other changes to services along routes.


Canceling branches of routes

The TTC is also increasing and decreasing the frequency of service along the entire route.

Summer service ends and regular service resumes Tuesday, September 8.
