TTC Service Changes Effective July 26, 2026

The service changes for the second portion of the summer largely consist of restoring several routes to their pre-World Cup service.

  • 509 Harbourfront weekday service will return to its pre-World Cup level. Weekend service will remain higher to handle summer traffic.
  • 309 Harbourfront night car will be discontinued. Early Sunday morning service will be provided by the 509.

  • 511 Bathurst service will be reduced.
  • 311 Bathurst night car service will end, and the 307 Bathurst night bus will resume service to Exhibition Loop
  • 929 Dufferin Express weekend early evening service will end.

Track, overhead and sewer construction will resume on College between Bay and Church. Streetcars will divert both ways via Bay, Dundas and Parliament. Replacement buses will run from Spadina Station to Broadview & Gerrard. Westbound buses will divert around the work site via Jarvis, Wellesley and Bay.

512/312 St. Clair cars will make run in/out trips via Queen, Broadview, Dundas and Bathurst.

Fleet Summaries

According to the June 2026 CEO’s Report, the TTC’s bus fleet numbers “over 2,100” buses. The peak scheduled service for the Summer 2 Period is 1,502 buses. Allowing for spares at 20%, this means that about 1,800 buses are spoken for with a further 300 in reserve.

The TTC’s streetcar fleet numbers 264 cars of which 149 are in peak service. Allowing for 20% spares, this means that about 180 are spoken for and a further 84 are in reserve.

Fall schedules will bring some service restorations and improvements, but there will still be headroom to operate more service with the existing fleet. We will see come the 2027 budget whether the TTC is given the resources (i.e. staff headcount) to actually use the vehicles it owns.
