Due to the reconstruction of Royal York station’s bus terminal, lasting approximately 18 months, buses on the 15 EVANS route will be interlined with the 48 RATHBURN route, and not enter the bus terminal for the duration of the renovation. Northbound buses will serve a stop outside the main station entrance. Southbound buses will serve stops southbound nearside on Royal York at Bloor. There is no change in the number of buses in service.

With construction of the Royal York Station bus roadway now complete, interlining with this route and 48 RATHBURN now ends, save for Monday to Friday evenings and all day on weekends. Buses now operate into Royal York station’s bus terminal. It is possible that construction completed sooner, in which case, this revision was implemented earlier at the divisional level.
