TTC revises routes and services, May 8

The TTC is revising its routes and services starting Sunday, May 8, impacting various routes. The transit agency is increasing frequency, improving reliability, reintroducing seasonal service or introducing new seasonal service along various routes or matching capacity to demand.

In many cases, it’s restoring levels to the service that it provided before and during October 2021. It explains that “This year’s approved operating budget allows the TTC to restore service to 100 per cent of pre-pandemic levels. This will occur over the coming months in line with ridership increases.”

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 also 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.

57 Midland

The TTC is revising the path so that buses no longer operate along Passmore Avenue and Silver Star Boulevard. Ongoing Metrolinx construction of an overpass to carry Steeles Avenue East across the GO Transit Stouffville-line tracks may temporarily block access between Silver Star and Steeles East.

Starting Sunday, May 8, southbound buses start their trips on Steeles East just west of Silver Star, then proceed:

eastward along Steeles East; and then
southward along Midland Avenue to just south of Steeles,
resuming their usual route southward along Midland.

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

on Steeles Avenue East at Silver Star Boulevard.

Before arriving on Steeles East at Silver Star, buses have deadheaded (operate without passengers) from the south end of Redlea Avenue, then proceeded along Redlea and Steeles to Silver Star.

Northbound buses operate along their regular route to Midland and Passmore Avenues, then proceed:

northward along Midland; and then
westward along Steeles Avenue East to Old Kennedy Road (across from Silver Star Boulevard),
ending their trips.

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

on Passmore Avenue beyond Midland Avenue and at Silver Star Boulevard,

on Silver Star Boulevard beside #633 Silver Star and at Steeles Avenue East and

on Steeles Avenue East at Midland Avenue.

TTC buses along other routes continue to serve passengers at these stops:

Passmore: 43 Kennedy.

Steeles East: 53 Steeles East; 953 Steeles East express.

The TTC no longer provides any transit service to the stops on Silver Star.

Instead, northbound buses drop off or pick up passengers at new stops

on Midland Avenue at Copthorne Avenue, the walkway to Truro Crescent and Steeles Avenue East and

on Steeles Avenue East at Old Kennedy Road.

After arriving on Steeles East at Old Kennedy, the buses “deadhead” (operate without passengers) to the south end of Redlea Avenue along Steeles and Redlea. They turn around at the cul-de-sac at the south end of Redlea before proceeding on southbound trips.

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

501H Queen / Humber shuttle buses
501L Queen - Long Branch shuttle buses

The TTC continues to replace streetcars along the west end of the 501 Queen route due to ongoing construction at the intersection of Queen Street West / King Street West / The Queensway / Roncesvalles Avenue. However, it’s shortening the path so that buses only operate as far eastward as University Avenue, instead of Broadview Avenue.

Starting Sunday, May 8, eastbound buses operate along their regular route to Queen Street West and University Avenue, then detour:

southward along University; and then
eastward along Adelaide Street West to York Street,
ending their trips.

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

on Queen Street West at York, Bay and Yonge Streets,

on Queen Street East at Victoria, Church, Jarvis, Sherbourne, Ontario, Parliament, Sackville, Sumach and River Streets, across from Carroll Street and at Broadview Avenue,

on Broadview Avenue at Dundas Street East and across from Mountstephen Street and

on Gerrard Street East beyond Broadview Avenue.

Instead, eastbound buses drop off passengers at a new temporary stop

on Adelaide Street West at York Street.

Westbound buses start their trips on Adelaide Street West west of York Street, then proceed:

northward along York to Queen Street West, resuming their usual route westward along Queen West.

Westbound buses skip their usual stops

on Gerrard Street East beyond Broadview Avenue and at St. Matthews Road,

on River Street at Dundas and Queen Streets East,

on Queen Street East at Sumach, Sackville, Parliament, Ontario, Sherbourne, Jarvis, Church, Victoria and Yonge Streets and

on Queen Street West at Bay Street and across from York Street.

Instead, westbound buses pick up passengers at a new temporary stop

on Adelaide Street West at York Street.

Adjusting the schedules for vehicles along routes

506 Carlton

The TTC is adjusting the schedules for streetcars along the route to “blend” the service with cars along the 505 Dundas route. Blending the service means that, at stops where cars along both routes serve passengers, every second car operates along route 506. Alternate cars operate along route 505. Blending the schedules for both routes affects stops in High Park Loop, on Howard Park Avenue and on Dundas Street West between Howard Park and College Street.

At those stops where the TTC has blended the service, starting Sunday, May 8, streetcars along both routes drop off or pick up passengers:

every 5 minutes, Sundays and holidays before about noon;

every 4 minutes, from about noon until 7 p.m.; and

every 5 minutes after about 10 p.m.

Starting Monday, May 9, cars serve passengers at the stops:
