The TTC has announced many service changes on Sunday, May 12. As I write this, they have issued a press release and have a page listing the changes on their website that, I must say, conveys more detailed information than usually appears in their notices.

There are more improvements than cuts in this round, but they lie mainly outside of the peak period.

They have not yet issued the detailed list of changes from which I normally build a spreadsheet comparing old and new headways, travel times and vehicle allocations. When this is available, I will update this article with the usual spreadsheet. I hope to get the details tomorrow (May 8).

Updated May 10, 2024 at 10:00 am: The TTC has still not released the detailed memo describing the changes. This is not merely an inconvenience to that pesky blogger SwanBoatSteve, but it affects internal processes for customer information online and at stops. Customer info is always cited as an important part of plans to improve service, but actual delivery can be hamstrung by delays in key parts of the process.

Updated May 10, 2024 at 5:00 pm: The detailed memo of changes was issued mid-afternoon today. This article will be updated first with the addition of maps, and a correction to the 104/184 service information. Over the weekend, I will build the usual spreadsheet showing the details of all changes. Stay tuned.

Updated May 10, 2024 at 5:15 pm: Construction project list added. Tables of service hours and fleet allocations added.

Updated May 11, 2024 at 7:40 am: 39 Finch East change revised from “Weekday” to “Saturday”.

Updated May 11, 2024 at 11:55 pm: Spreadsheet with details of all service changes added.
