As I write this on June 6 at 5:00pm, the TTC has not yet published the detailed memo of service changes for June 7. There is a web page listing World Cup related service changes, but no details about service frequencies. On an interim basis, I have used the electronic version of the June 7 schedules (GTFS data) as a source for info on scheduled service. On game days, there will be additional service as needed.

Bathurst Corridor

• Night service on 307 Bathurst bus will be shortened to end at Bathurst Station. Service south to Exhibition will be provided by a 311 Bathurst night car running from St. Clair to Exhibition Loop.
• Service on 511 Bathurst will be improved (see table later in this article).

Spadina Corridor

• Service on 510/310 Spadina streetcar will be shortened to turn at Queens Quay Loop. Service to Union Station will be provided by 509/309 Harbourfront.

Waterfront

• Service on 509 Harbourfront will be improved (see table later in this article), and a new 309 Harbourfront night car will operate.

Dufferin Corridor

• Service on 929 Dufferin express will be added on Sunday evenings on Game Days running every 8 minutes.

King Corridor

• Service will be improved on 504 King. On Game Days, the 504B from Broadview Station will turn back via a loop of King, Queen and Shaw without serving Dufferin Loop. See detailed map and schedule in the schedule section later in this article.

Queen / Lake Shore Boulevard West

• 507/501/301 Long Branch service will be replaced by buses due to construction at Long Branch Loop.
  • Two branches of the replacement bus service will operate:
    • 507 from Humber Loop to Long Branch Loop via Park Lawn.
    • 507M from Humber Loop to the Humber Bay Shores area looping via Marine Parade Drive.
  • This configuration will run until Labour Day weekend. In September, 507 streetcars will return as far as Kipling Loop, and the 110 Islington South will be extended west to Long Branch Loop.
• 508 Lake Shore streetcar service will be suspended for the summer season returning after Labour Day.
• See map in the schedule details later in this post.

World Cup Services and Support

On match days, service will operate as shown below.

During the June 7 schedule period, night services will operate as below.

Note that the 311 Bathurst night car will run north to St. Clair looping through St. Clair West Station. At Bloor Street, the night cars will stop on street both ways, but will not enter Bathurst Staton.

Detailed Schedule Changes

Service frequencies are shown as “xx/yy” where “xx” is the headway until June 6, and “yy” is the headway from June 7 onward.

501 Queen

Service levels on 501 Queen are unchanged. All trips will end at Humber Loop due to construction work at Long Branch. Buses will run west from Humber Loop.

511 Bathurst

Service on 511 Bathurst is improved during most periods due to added demand to Exhibition Loop.

Note that early morning service on Sundays will switch from the 307 Bathurst night bus to the 311 Bathurst night car running between Exhibition Loop and St. Clair West Station Loop.

Weekdays	AM Peak	Midday	PM Peak	Early Eve	Late Eve

Transit Priority

Various levels of transit priority have been added on several streets including some routes that do not serve the World Cup area, but where spillover traffic from other routes is expected.

Incident Response

Among the incident response categories are support for manual switches at sundry locations. This does not speak well of the TTC’s faith in its own track technology/condition. Also, some streetcar corridors will be monitored for power supply issues. It is clear that the TTC has not been keeping its power infrastructure at a level that can support additional service.
