Also, to serve workers with early-morning shifts at the facility, the TTC will operate extra buses to connect passengers aboard buses along the the 353 Steeles overnight route to the Amazon facility. These extra buses operate from about 4 until 6 a.m. and connect with eastbound buses along the 353 Steeles East route trips at Tapscott Road and Steeles Avenue East. These buses reduce passenger travel time to the facility and improve pedestrian safety in the area.

Trip planning for these extra buses is not available.
