The TTC is making minor changes to its services, starting Sunday, July 31.
Among the highlights:
- The transit agency is restoring service levels along two routes, after having cut the levels during the COVID-19 pandemic:
Since Metrolinx construction of the Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit line is ending, fewer work zones block traffic lanes on Eglinton Avenues West. That allows the TTC the opportunity to increase service levels along route 32 even more.
The TTC is starting projects to upgrade the tracks at two sites:
- the intersection of Carlton Street with Church Street; and
the intersection of King Street East with Sumach Street.
It’s detouring streetcars along these routes during the projects:
- It’s also detouring buses along this route:
- 306 Carlton overnight.
- It’s introducing a temporary shuttle-bus route to replace service along all routes near the construction zones during the projects.
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.

504 King
Due to upcoming track construction at the intersection of King Street West with Sumach Street, the TTC is temporarily revising the path for streetcars along the route.
It’s also operating the cars along just one branch, instead of two branches, of the route. Starting Sunday, July 31, all cars operate between Broadview Station and Dufferin Gate Loop. Shuttle buses replace the cars on King Street East between Sumach and Parliament streets and on Sumach and Cherry streets between King East and Distillery Loop.
The TTC is also increasing and decreasing the frequency of service along the route.
Transit agencies often interline transit vehicles along two or more routes that share a common terminal to save resources — human resources [drivers] and physical resources [vehicles]. For example, starting Sunday, July 31, after a westbound bus along the 40A Junction - Dundas West route arrives in the bus terminal at Kipling Station it completes a round trip along the 49 Bloor West route before returning to the terminal. It then starts an eastbound trip along route 40A.
