TTC increasing service on Line 2 beginning October 12

This morning, Oct. 9, Mayor Olivia Chow announced that the TTC will be restoring service on Line 2 Bloor-Danforth to pre-pandemic levels, starting Oct. 12. With this increase in service, customers on Line 2 can look forward to trains arriving approximately every two and a half minutes during the morning rush hour and increased service throughout the day.

Additionally, service will be increased on the 72 Pape, 73 Royal York and 94 Wellesley to better meet customer demand.

“Torontonians deserve better, more frequent transit, and we continue to work towards providing just that,” said Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. “Today’s announced service increase will benefit thousands of customers who use Line 2 daily, and we look forward to continuing to deliver even better public transit for the residents of this city.”

“These increases are about ensuring that TTC customers can benefit from faster, more frequent service, in both peak and off-peak periods,” said TTC Chair Jamaal Myers. “These service increases and improvements are about getting the basics right for our customers, getting them where they need to go safely and reliably.”

“With more people returning to in-office work this fall, the TTC is ensuring that we can meet the demand by adding capacity in the right places at the right times,” said TTC CEO Mandeep S. Lali. “This is the first of several service increases that we plan to implement this fall, ensuring that we can continue to get our customers to their destinations safely and efficiently.”
