The hours of service on Line 5 will be extended effective April 5, 2026. Trains will run later into the evening with buses covering the route at other times.
Service now ends just before 11pm inbound from the terminals, but will be extended to 1:20am weekdays and Sundays, 12:30am on Saturdays.
Bus services on Eglinton remain the same:
- 34 Eglinton provides local bus service every 20 minutes from 6:00am to 1:30am (8:00am start on Sundays).
- The Line 5 shuttle bus will continue to run between 10:00pm and 1:00am stopping only at Line 5 stops.
- The 334 Eglinton night bus runs from 1:00am to 5:30am (7:30am on Sundays).
Whether the Line 5 shuttle late night operation will continue beyond the next schedule change remains to be seen as it duplicates the extended LRT service.

What is the point of running the Line 5 shuttle bus while the trains are still running? Are the trains less frequent in those hours? If so, why?
Steve: This is a mid-board period change and the shuttle buses are scheduled to run to early May, at least. I expect they will be removed at the first opportunity.

I think it’s great. Just would be interesting how TTC manages this when the Line 5 shuttles are removed that they finish 12:30am line 5 trains, and the 334 starts at 1am (this is post-line 5 shuttles of course).
Steve: That early Saturday closing is odd, although they might be trying for a long early Sunday maintenance period. I suspect we will see bus schedule changes on the next regular change on May 3.

Having the 34 bus service every 20 minutes is terrible. Should have the same headways as the LRT. Then when an elevator is out-of-service, there is a alternative available for accessibility. In addition, for some people, it maybe quicker to board and ride a bus than to spend 5 minutes going down from street level to the station platform, and another 5 minutes going up.
Steve: Yes. And service reliability on the 34 is terrible. Coming soon to a blog you all enjoy.
