Thanksgiving weekend service changes

Beginning Sunday, October 12, several bus and streetcar service changes will take effect across the city.

As part of the approved Line 5 Surface Network Plan, adjustments are being made on 14 bus routes to prepare for the future opening of Line 5 Eglinton (date to be confirmed).

These changes are designed to help customers get familiar with new routing while maintaining connections to existing service on 32 Eglinton West and 34 Eglinton East.

The changes are expected to have minimal impact on current travel and will improve connections to the Eglinton corridor.

New and adjusted routes include:

• 13 Avenue Road
• 41 Keele
• 72 Pape
• 73 Royal York
• 74 Mount Pleasant
• 88 South Leaside
• 90 Vaughan
• 95 York Mills
• 103 Mount Pleasant North
• 116 Morningside
• 161 Rogers Rd
• 164 Castlefield
• 168 Symington
• 171 Mount Dennis
• 191 Underhill
• 941 Keele Express

For more information, visit Line 5 Network Page.

As of Sunday, October 12, 2025, TTC’s routes and schedules pages and most trip planning apps will not show route diversions for the 29 Dufferin, 304 King, 329 Dufferin Night Bus, 503 Kingston Rd, 504 King, 508 Lakeshore and 929 Dufferin Express routes despite the fact that construction at King Street West and Dufferin Street will not end until mid-November 2025.

Diversions will only partially register on the Transit app through its detour module, and travel time calculations will no longer be accurate. Please call the Customer Information team at 416-393-4636 for assistance in planning your trip.
