With bitterly cold temperatures and significant snowfall forecast this weekend for Toronto and neighbouring cities, officials are advising the public to stay indoors as much as possible.
If you do have to travel, here’s what you need to know about transit service disruptions.
TTC
There is no subway service between St George and St Andrew stations on Line 1 from 11 p.m. Friday to Saturday due to planned station work.
The TTC says shuttle buses will not operate.
The transit agency initially scheduled the closure until Sunday, but due to the winter storm, it was cancelled. Thus, regular subway service on Line 1 will resume on Sunday to help riders get to their destination.
The TTC is advising commuters that some bus stops in hilly areas may be taken out of service during the storm.
“Winter weather information signs are installed at certain stops to help customers stay safe and informed. These signs include details about service changes and the nearest in-service storm” the TTC says.
GO Transit
There will be no GO train service between Oakville and Mimico stations on Saturday and Sunday due to planned construction to replace the Etobicoke Creek bridge.
“This work is critical to maintaining safe and reliable service,” Metrolinx says.
GO buses will pick up passengers at Oakville and Clarkson stations before travelling directly to Union Station Bus Terminal. The buses will not stop at Port Credit and Long Branch stations.
Metrolinx says special trains will run hourly between Mimico and Union stations, while there is regular train service between Niagara Falls and Oakville stations.
