Beginning Sunday, May 7, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is increasing service on several routes across the city to keep up with busy summer season ridership on major corridors.
Some of the adjustments made include shorter wait times on night routes along Finch Avenue, Jane Street and Wilson Avenue from the current 30 minutes to every 20 minutes instead.
The transit service is also improving service on the Markham Road corridor, which is one of the busiest in the city, by expanding service at 902 Markham Rd. Express to connect to high traffic employment areas on Morningside and Steeles Avenues.
The TTC will also introduce seasonal routes to top-visited parks and attractions such as Cherry Beach, Bluffer’s Park, High Park and the Toronto Zoo.
According to the update, the service on line 1 will be adjusted at any time of the day to also adjust the timetables to the number of passengers.
When construction of the Ontario Line begins on Queen Street, the transit service will also deploy 501 Queen streetcars and 501B Queen replacement buses every 10 minutes or sooner to keep up with the flow of commuters.
The new 501B Queen bus route will operate on Queen Street between Bathurst Street and Broadview Avenue, diverting via Bay Street, Richmond/King Street East and West and Church Street.
