The TTC is closing Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Jane and Ossington stations Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13. Line 2 trains operate between Kipling and Jane stations and between Kennedy and Ossington stations those days.
Shuttle buses partially replace subway trains. The trains drop off or pick up passengers in subway station terminals or on the street near all stations on the closed section of Line 2.
Shuttle buses are accessible. However, the TTC is also assigned two extra Wheel-Trans vehicle to operate between Jane and Ossington stations for passengers needing extra help in travelling.
Runnymede, High Park, Lansdowne and Dufferin stations are closed. All other subway stations remain open so you can pay fares, load PRESTO fare cards or buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC buses.
While this part of Line 2 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining the tracks.
The TTC is closing this section of Line 2 at least three more times during April and early May:
- Monday, April 14 until Thursday, April 17 — Jane to Ossington — close early — track work.
- Monday, April 21 until Friday, April 25 — Jane to Ossington — close early — track work.
- Monday, April 28 until Friday, May 2 — Jane to Ossington — close early — track work.
According to a TTC news release, “While the TTC does most subway maintenance after service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.”
Shuttle bus alternative
One way that you can reduce the impact of the closure is by planning ahead, leaving earlier than usually and giving yourself more time to get to where you’re going.
Although shuttle buses replacing subway service will be frequent, they may also be crowded.
Regular TTC buses provide less frequent, less direct, but, perhaps, less stressful alternatives.
