As construction on the Ontario Line increases around Pape Station, the Pape Station bus terminal becomes inaccessible to buses. In response, on this day, the TTC combines operations on this and the 81 THORNCLIFFE PARK route, with buses stopping outside the Pape Station entrance rather than entering the bus terminal. To improve the reliability of service in the East Port Lands, the 72B Branch to Union Station is replaced by the new 114 QUEEN’S QUAY EAST route.
The remaining branches operate as follows: southbound buses on the 72A branch (Thorncliffe Park to Eastern Avenue) operate from Thorncliffe Park Drive and Overlea Boulevard via west on Overlea Boulevard, south on Millwood Road, south on Leaside Bridge, south on Pape Avenue (serving Pape Station on-street), west on Riverdale Avenue, south on Carlaw Avenue, east on Queen Street East, south on Pape Avenue, and west on Eastern Avenue to Carlaw Avenue. Northbound buses return via north on Carlaw Avenue, east on Riverdale Avenue, north on Pape Avenue (serving Pape Station on-street), north on Leaside Bridge, north on Millwood Road, east on Overlea Boulevard, and south, east, and north on Thorncliffe Park Drive to Overlea Boulevard.
Southbound buses on the 72C branch (Thorncliffe Park to Commissioners Street) operate from Thorncliffe Park Drive and Overlea Boulevard via west on Overlea Boulevard, south on Millwood Road, south on Leaside Bridge, south on Pape Avenue (serving Pape Station on-street), west on Riverdale Avenue, south on Carlaw Avenue, and west on Commissioners street to Saulter Street. Northbound buses return via north on Saulter Street, east on Lake Shore Boulevard East, south on Bouchette Street, east on Commissioners Street, north on Carlaw Avenue, east on Riverdale Avenue, north on Pape Avenue (serving Pape Station on-street), north on Leaside Bridge, north on Millwood Road, east on Overlea Boulevard, and south, east, and north on Thorncliffe Park Drive to Overlea Boulevard.

A TTC proposal, submitted to commissioners for their March 2016 meeting, suggested a number of route changes to serve the developing West Don Lands and Port Lands. The 72 PAPE route would be revised to restore its connection with Union Station and provide new service to Queen's Quay East. A new 121 FORT YORK-ESPLANADE route would fill in for the defunct 172 CHERRY STREET bus and provide new service to the Fort York area. Finally, the 514 CHERRY streetcar would serve Cherry Street to the Distillery district, as well as provide additional service on King Street and to Liberty Village. |
