TTC Subway & Streetcar Closures: Plan Ahead

0:00Toronto's TTC is hitting commuters with big subway shutdowns this weekend on line 2. From Keel station to St. George station, no trains run April 11th and 12th for signal upgrades. Frequent shuttle buses replace them, plus wheel trans for those who need accessible rides. Lands down, Dufferin and Christie stations close too, but others stay open for presto cards, tickets, and bus connections. Street car routes get tweaks around the same time. The 501 and 301 Queen line shifts to King Street West from Thursday 11pm to Friday 4am, with buses covering the rest. During work at Queen and Dufferin, then Friday 11pm through Monday 4am, the 509 Harper Front runs short to Queen's Quay Loop, and 510 Spadina does the same. Buses filling the union gap for tunnel and overhead fixes. These disruptions ripple into next week, affecting how folks get around after dark. It's all about state of good repair work, they can't wait nights and weekends or prime time, since regular hours keep the lines packed.
