Due to the construction of a railway viaduct south of Front Street closing the Bay Street bridge over the railway tracks, service begins on the new BAY bus route, running from the south end of the Bay Street bridge via south on Bay and west on Queen’s Quay to York Street. Service is provided Mondays through Saturdays from 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., with no service on Sundays or holidays.

It is presumed that passengers had to make a “walking transfer” to other TTC services via a temporary path to the corner of Bay and Front streets.
