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