2026.02.08 Service Changes (corrected version)

5 Eglinton

The TTC has confirmed that Line 5 Eglinton will open for service on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The new route will operate between Mount Dennis Station at Weston Road in the west to Kennedy Station in the east.

Service will operate on 5 Eglinton until 11pm daily expanding to full service in 2Q26 on a date to be announced. Service after 11pm will be provided by a Line 5 shuttle bus running every 10 minutes until the 334 Eglinton Night bus takes over. The shuttle will only stop at LRT stations running in effect as an express service while the 34 Eglinton local bus makes all stops.

The schedule provides 10 minutes of recovery time during off-peak periods per trip, i.e. 5 minutes at each terminal. Peak periods have only 6 minutes per trip. Step-back crewing will be used at both terminals so that trains are not delayed by breaks for operator. Service is crewed from both Eglinton and Mount Dennis divisions.

Many surface routes are affected by the new line and these are shown in the map above. These are grouped below by geographic area across the city.

• 32 Eglinton West: This route will now originate at Mount Dennis Station, and only the existing Renforth branch will retain the 32 route number.
• 158 Trethewey: The 32C Trethewey branch will be split off as a separate route 158 originating at Keelesdale Station (Keele Street).
• 73B Royal York: The Royal York 73B is already operating to Mount Dennis Station and replaces the 32D Emmett branch.

• 35/27 Jane: The 35 Jane bus route will be broken at Eglinton with the north end retaining route number 35, and the south end becoming the new 27 Jane South. Both routes will run east on Eglinton to Mount Dennis Station.
• 935 Jane Express: The express service on Jane will continue to run between Jane Station and Steeles, and it will not divert to Mount Dennis Station.
• 71 Runnymede: This route will now serve Mount Dennis Station.
• 89/989 Weston Road: The local and express services on Weston Road will divert east on Eglinton to serve Mount Dennis Station.

• 47 Lansdowne/18 Caledonia: The Lansdowne route will be split at Caledonia Station with the 47 terminating there northbound, and the 18 Caledonia route number and name are resurrected for the northern part of the route.

• 51 Leslie/56 Leaside: Both the 51 and 56 routes now run west via Eglinton to Eglinton Station. They will be amalgamated removing the service on Eglinton west of Laird Station. The amalgamated 51 route will run from Donlands Station north to Leslie Station on Line 4 at Sheppard. A 51B short turn will serve The Donway loop now served by 162 Lawrence-Donway. Service will operate every 11-12 minutes between Donlands Station and Lawrence, and will split into 12-24 on the 51A and 51B branches to Leslie Station and Don Mills.
• 151 Leslie North: The 51 route will be replaced north of Sheppard by new route 151 running from Leslie Station to Steeles. Service will operate every 20-25 minutes, 30 in late evenings.
• 162 Lawrence-Donway: The east end of this route now loops around The Donway, but it will be changed to run to Don Valley Station. Service on The Donway will be provided by 51B Leslie. Service on weekday evenings and all day weekends will be scheduled to stagger departures eastbound from Lawrence Station with 124 Sunnybrook.

• 54/954 Lawrence East: The 54 service will be removed west of Don Mills and will run south to Don Valley Station. The 954 express service will no longer run to Kennedy Station, but will continue west on Lawrence and south to Don Valley Station. There is no change to 354 Lawrence East night bus which will continue to operate west on Eglinton from Don Mills to Yonge.

• 91 Woodbine/191 Underhill: The 91 Woodbine will be cut back to end at Lawrence Avenue. Service north to York Mills will be provided by 191 Underhill which will run to Don Valley Station.

• 34C Eglinton East to Wynford: This service will be discontinued. Service on Linkwood Lane will be provided during peak periods only by the 100B Flemingdon Park route.
• 100 Flemingdon Park: The existing 100A service between Broadview Station and Flemingdon Park will not change, but buses will serve Don Valley Station. Branch 100B will operate via Linkwood Lane replacing the 34C, but will only run in peak periods.
• 72C Pape: This route will now serve Don Valley Station.

Crosstown

• 34 Eglinton: This bus will parallel the 5 Eglinton LRT between Kennedy Station and Mount Dennis. It will run every 20 minutes, although there are plans to widen this to half-hourly later in 2026.
• 334 Eglinton Blue Night: The 332 and 334 Eglinton West/East night routes will be consolidated as 334. Service will run every 15 minutes between Mount Dennis and Kennedy, every 30 minutes beyond.

Existing Routes Connecting With 5 Eglinton

Many routes were changed in October 2025 to better connect with the future 5 Eglinton.

• 13 Avenue Road: This route now operates northbound from Chaplin Crescent to Eglinton via Avenue Road to better connect at Avenue Station. Southbound service continues to run via Oriole Parkway.
• 41/941 Keele: Buses operate through Keelesdale Station northbound. Southbound service uses an on street stop.
• 74/103 Mt. Pleasant: The service on Mt. Pleasant from St. Clair to Doncliffe Loop was split back into two routes with 74 Mt. Pleasant extended west to Eglinton Station, and 103 Mt. Pleasant North restored from Eglinton Station to Doncliffe.
• 88 South Leaside: The northern loop via Wicksteed was changed to run via Eglinton between Laird and Brentcliffe to provide a connection with Laird Station.
• 90 Vaughan: This route was extended north and east to Cedarvale Station, serving Oakwood Station enroute.
• 161 Rogers Road: The 161 now operates to Mount Dennis Station via Weston Road and Black Creek Drive. The former service on Alliance Avenue was replaced by 171 Mount Dennis.
• 164 Castlefield: This is a new route serving Cedarvale, Keelesdale and Mount Dennis Stations.
• 168 Symington: The 168 was extended from Avon Loop to Mount Dennis Station via Weston Road and Black Creek Drive.
• 171 Mount Dennis: This route was adjusted to serve Mount Dennis Station, and was extended to replace the rerouted 161 Rogers Road service to the Humber Boulevard / Alliance Avenue area.
• 191 Underhill: This was a new route running from the future Don Valley Station to the north end of the existing 91 Woodbine. The two routes overlapped until February 2026 when the 91 was shortened to end at Lawrence.

Updated February 7 at 7:00am:

Don Valley Station Transfer Connections

Although several bus routes will feed into Don Valley Station, the 25/925 Don Mills services will use an on street transfer thanks to Ontario Line construction. The future OL station will be above the west end of the loop and all buses using the loop will enter from Gervais Drive.

The 25/925 Don Mills and 403 South Don Mills community buses will not use the loop, but will instead use the on street stops on the south side of Eglinton. Passengers will enter via the station entrance on the southwest corner, and this means that transfers to/from northbound service will have to cross Don Mills.

Similarly, transfers between routes using the loop (54/954 Lawrence East, 72 Pape, 100 Flemingdon Park, 162 Lawrence-Donway, 191 Underhill) and the Don Mills services will require riders to navigate to the stops south of Eglinton.

Corrected February 7 at 2:05pm

Stops on the north side of this intersection will be used by the 354 Lawrence East night bus service. Stops on Eglinton will be used by the 34/334 Eglinton services.

Easier Access Changes

The 31 Greenwood bus will switch back to Greenwood Station from Coxwell Station where it was diverted for elevator construction. At the south end of the route, buses will now use Woodbine Loop as their terminus rather than an on-street loop via Queen.

Updated: The TTC has announced that construction at Greenwood Station will not clear the bus loop until February 13. Buses will continue to loop at Coxwell Station in the interim.

The 149 Etobicoke-Bloor shuttle which provides accessibility to the portion of Line 2 that does not yet have elevators will be shortened to terminate at Jane Station because High Park Station is now accessible.
