TTC revises routes and services, October 10

The TTC is again revising its routes and services, Sunday, October 10.

It’s introducing two new Monday-to-Friday rush-hour express routes:

943 Kennedy express; and
968 Warden express.

It’s also increasing the hours of service for three other express routes:

929 Dufferin express;
953 Steeles East express; and
960 Steeles West express.

Since the TTC’s improving express services, it’s also reducing service along parallel local routes:

29 Dufferin;
43 Kennedy;
53 Steeles East;
60 Steeles West; and
68 Warden.

It’s making major changes to the 121 Fort York - Esplanade route. It’s cancelling all service west of Union Station, but extending the path for buses along the route further eastward to Bridgepoint Health near Gerrard Street East and Broadview Avenue. It’s naming the revised route the 121 Esplanade - River route.

It’s also extending the 95A York Mills route further eastward to the area of Kingston Road / Sheppard Avenue East / Port Union Road.

Due to fewer riders boarding buses resulting from social distancing and lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, the TTC continues to suspend service along these express routes:

141 Downtown / Mt Pleasant express;
142 Downtown / Avenue Rd express;
143 Downtown / Beach express;
144 Downtown / Don Valley express; and
145 Downtown / Humber Bay express.

The TTC continues to suspend service along these routes due to the pandemic:

176 Mimico GO shuttle;
508 Lake Shore.

The TTC continues to suspend service along this route due to Metrolinx construction of the Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit line:

103 Mt Pleasant North.

As a pilot project, the TTC continues to combine route 503 service with the former 502 Downtowner route, as it has since September 9, 2019.

Cancelliing branches of routes

Since the TTC is shortening the path in the west end of the route and extending it in the east, it may no longer provide seasonal service to and from Ontario Place in 2022. However, it will serve passengers travelling to and from Cherry Beach next year — but along another route.

The TTC is also increasing the frequency of service and making another change to service along the route.

70B O’Connor
