Only a few routes are changing at the end of July, although TTC has hinted that major service additions are coming in the fall. Given the state of the TTC’s budget, we will see in roughly a month just what that entails.

Rapid Transit Changes

2 Bloor-Danforth

Gap trains are removed from the weekday schedule due to a shortage of operators. This eliminates two trains in the AM and PM peaks, and five trains through the early and late evening periods. Four midday gap trains remain.

Night Service Changes

504/304 King

Three mid-evening trips eastbound from Humber Loop are added to provide a better transition between the 504B King and 501 Queen services west of Roncesvalles. There is no change to the 501 Queen nor to the 507 Long Branch schedule.

Schedules for the 304 King Night Car will be adjusted for reliability. Cars will continue on their present 20′ headway, but some driving time has been converted to terminal layover time.

305 Dundas

All-night service will be provided on Dundas over the same route as the daytime 505 with cars on a 30′ headway.

306 Carlton

Because Dundas is now a 24 hour route, the 306 Carlton Night Car will operate to High Park Loop, and will continue on a 20′ headway. (Note that although this is generally advertised as a 20′ headway, it actually widens to 30′ after 3am.)

332 Eglinton West, 334 Eglinton East & 354 Lawrence East

These routes will be changed to enter Eglinton Station via Yonge and Berwick rather than via the western entrance at Duplex. Stops at the south entrance to the station and at Berwick to provide transfer connections between these routes.

363 Ossington

Buses will serve the stop at Strachan and Canniff to provide a transfer connection with 304 King, and to match the daytime service.

Bus Changes

36 Finch West

Additional trips will be added in the AM and PM peaks, and in weekday early evenings to provide more capacity on this route. These are factory trips deleted in error in the June schedule change.

114 Queens Quay East

The 114 Queens Quay East bus has been using Lake Shore Garage as its eastern terminal since early July. This change is now formally in the schedule.

Buses run out of service east of Carlaw, but serve the Logan, Lake Shore, Carlaw loop in both directions.

123 Sherway

A trip from Kipling Station on the 123D East Mall service will shift from 6:11 to 6:12am to even out departures.

203 High Park

The 203 High Park shuttle operated with a Wheel Trans bus will now run east to Keele Station which provides an accessible connection to the subway. Buses will loop through High Park Station enroute. The headway is changed from every 20 to every 30 minutes.

937 Islington Express

Stops added at Dundas and at Rathburn to provide transfers to 40 Junction and 48 Rathburn.

945 Kipling Express

Stops added at Burnhamthorpe and at Rathburn to provide transfers to 46 Martin Grove, 48 Rathburn and 50 Burnhamthorpe.
