The TTC has announced its services for the CNE for 2025 to operate from Friday, August 15 to Monday, September 1.
- CNE Express buses will operate non-stop between Bathurst Station and Exhibition Loop, and between Dufferin Station and Dufferin Loop.
- Extra service will operate on the 29 Dufferin and 929 Dufferin Express bus routes, and on the 509 Harbourfront and 511 Bathurst streetcar routes.
Other routes will change to accommodate the CNE services and traffic conditions.
- 63 Ossington buses normally loop at King via Strachan, East Liberty, Liberty and Atlantic. This will change so that buses loop via Fraser, Liberty and Atlantic.
- 503 Kingston Road streetcars will be extended west from Dufferin to Sunnyside Loop between 2pm-1am weekdays and 9am-1am on weekends.
- 510 Spadina streetcars will terminate at Queens Quay Loop until 7:30pm daily, and will run to Union Station afterward.
It’s a shame the 521 and 522 won’t return but at least the express buses help.
I am surprised though with the 929 buses that they did not simply reinstate 193 Exhibition Rocket services. At least with Dundas West Station you have a bus loop.
Steve: The 521 would be difficult with Church and King closed. It would have to be a bus as Planning couldn’t be sure of the construction work being done.

Separate trade shows (Canadian International AutoShow, National Home Show, Canada Blooms, etc.) broke away from the CNE, to do their own thing. Hence, why the CNE seems smaller.

Kind of an unrelated question but what are the destination sign codes for the 100B in both directions because I noticed that the 100 is diverting in both directions via Linkwood Lane & Spanbridge Road.
Steve: Sorry, but I don’t have that info.
