73 Royal York

73D branch

Starting Monday, March 24, the TTC introduces this new branch between Oak Street Weston and Royal York Station Mondays to Fridays during rush hours. By introducing the new branch, the TTC increases the frequency of rush-hour service between Oak and Dixon Road. Buses operating along the new 73D branch replace the current 73A branch service between Dixon Road and Royal York Station.

Southbound buses start their trips on Oak Street Weston east of Weston Road, then proceed:

westward along Oak to Weston Road,
resuming the regular 73 route southward along Weston.

Southbound buses pick up passengers at a new stop (for this route):

• on Oak Street Weston east of Weston Road. (Buses operating along the 59 Maple Leaf route also serve this stop.)

Northbound buses operate along the regular 73 route to Weston Road and Knob Hill Drive, then proceed:

east- and southward along Knob Hill; and then
westward along Oak Street Weston to just east of Weston Road,
ending their trips.

Northbound buses pick up passengers at a new stop (for this route):

• on Oak Street Weston east of Weston Road. (Buses operating along the 59 Maple Leaf route also serve this stop.)

The TTC has not yet announced whether buses drop off or pick up passengers on Knob Hill Drive.

TTC buses serving the 59 Maple Leaf route previously operated along Knob Hill Drive from 1987 until 1991 and from 1993 until 2001.

The TTC is also decreasing the frequency of service along other parts of the route.

131F Nugget express

Friday, March 24 is the last day that the TTC operates buses along the 131F express branch of the route. Buses serving this branch operated only between Scarborough Centre and Kennedy Stations and dropped off or picked up passengers only at express stops.

According to the TTC, few passengers rode the buses operating along this branch of the route.

The TTC introduced service along this branch Tuesday, September 6, 2016](/archives/weblog/2016/09/03-ttc_revise.shtml#t131introbr), while it continued its program of rehabilitating the cars that operate along the 3 Scarborough rapid transit line. It temporarily withdrew some cars from service to complete the work.

By removing cars from service, the TTC had fewer trains available to operate along the line. It maintained slightly less frequent service levels along the line during rush hours.

To provide alternate service for passengers, the TTC introduced this new extra express branch of the route.

Express buses serving the 131E branch of the route continue operate express between Scarborough Centre and Kennedy stations Mondays to Fridays during rush hours. Buses serving the 131E branch drop off or pick up passengers at all local stops between Old Finch Avenue and Scarborough Centre.

The TTC is also decreasing the frequency of service along the route south of Scarborough Centre.

73 Royal York

73A branch

Friday, March 24 is the last day that the TTC operates buses along the branch between Dixon Road and Royal York Station.

After Friday, TTC buses operating along route 73 no longer drop off or pick up passengers at these stops:

• on Dixon Road east of Royal York Road and at Roxaline Street (buses operating along the 52 Lawrence West route continue to serve these stops after March 24) and
• on Roxaline Street at Royaleigh Drive (no TTC buses serve this stop after March 24).

TTC buses have operated along Roxaline Street and Royaleigh Drive since July 26, 1965.

The TTC is increasing the running time — the time it schedules for drivers to complete a round trip along the route — to maintain service reliability during upcoming construction. (The TTC plans to detour the cars while the City of Toronto rebuilds the sidewalks west of Spadina Avenue.)

By increasing the running time, the TTC also increases and decreases the frequency of service along the route at various times of the week.

Due to another construction project on The Queensway, Lake Shore Boulevard West and in Humber Loop, all cars operate only between Sunnyside and Neville Park loops.)

506 Carlton

The TTC is increasing the running time — the time it schedules for drivers to complete a round trip along the route. Originally, it intended to revise the schedules in this way to maintain service reliability during an upcoming project to install new overhead wiring on Gerrard Street East. However, it postponed the project due to a shortage of buses to replace the cars - but, unfortunately, not until after TTC planning staff had already scheduled drivers and streetcars for this service period.

By increasing the running time, the TTC also decreases the frequency of service along the route at various times of the week.

Starting Sunday, March 26, streetcars drop off or pick up passengers at stops along the route:

(The TTC plans to detour the cars while the City of Toronto rebuilds the water-mains on Dundas Street East between Church and Yonge Streets and the TTC rebuilds its tracks on Dundas East at Victoria Street.)

By increasing the running time, the TTC also decreases the frequency of service along the route at various times of the week.

Starting Sunday, March 26, streetcars drop off or pick up passengers at stops along the route:

• every 11 minutes, instead of every 10 minutes, Sundays and holidays before about 8 a.m.;

By decreasing the frequency of service early Sunday-and-holiday mornings, the TTC effectively removes 505 Dundas from its “ten-minutes-or-better” network of routes. (Passengers intending to travel along one of those routes can expect a bus or streetcar to arrive at their stop every ten minutes or less at all times of the week, except overnight.)

The TTC is increasing the running time — the time it schedules for drivers to complete a round trip along the route — to maintain service reliability during upcoming construction. (The TTC plans to detour streetcars operating along the 501 Queen route along Spadina Avenue while the City of Toronto rebuilds the sidewalks west of Spadina Avenue. A similar detour in 2016 resulted in less reliable service along the 510 Spadina route due to the large number of streetcars on Spadina Avenue between Queen and King Streets West.)

Northbound buses operate along their usual route to Birchmount Road and Rougeside Promenade, then proceed:

westward along Rougeside to just west of Birchmount,
ending their trips.

Northbound buses no longer drop off or pick up passengers at stops
