TTC Service Changes Effective June 7, 2026

As I began to write this on June 6 at 5:00pm, the TTC had not yet published the detailed memo of service changes for June 7. There is a web page listing World Cup related service changes, but no details about service frequencies. On an interim basis, I have used the electronic version of the June 7 schedules (GTFS data) as a source for info on scheduled service. On game days, there will be additional service as needed.

Updated: The TTC issued the detailed service memo in the early hours of June 7. Thanks to those burning the midnight oil to get this out. This article has been updated to consolidate info from the memo. Note that June service changes for subway, LRT and bus routes will not occur until June 21, and these will be covered in a separate post.

• 307 and 311 Bathurst night services: Stopping arrangements at Bathurst and St. Clair West Stations clarified.
• Streetcar route maps added at the end of the article.
• 301L route clarified to include extension to Dufferin Loop.
• Streetcar vehicle allocation tables added.
• Spreadsheet of detailed changes added. Revised to include 929 Dufferin Express.
• List of destination sign changes added.

Bathurst Corridor

• Night service on 307 Bathurst bus will be shortened to end at Bathurst Station. Service south to Exhibition will be provided by a 311 Bathurst night car running from St. Clair to Exhibition Loop.
• Service on 511 Bathurst will be improved (see table later in this article).
• Updates:
• 307 buses will loop through Bathurst Station, but will lay over and serve a new stop northbound on Bathurst at London (opposite the station).
• 311 streetcars will run out of service through St. Clair West Station.

Spadina Corridor

• Service on the 510 Spadina streetcar will be shortened to turn at Queens Quay Loop. Service to Union Station will be provided by 509/309 Harbourfront and by 310 Spadina. (Corrected)

Waterfront

• Service on 509 Harbourfront will be improved (see table later in this article), and a new 309 Harbourfront night car will operate.

Dufferin Corridor

• Service on 929 Dufferin express will be added on Sunday evenings on Game Days running every 8 minutes.

King Corridor

• Service will be improved on 504 King. On Game Days, the 504B from Broadview Station will turn back via a loop of King, Queen and Shaw without serving Dufferin Loop. See detailed map and schedule in the schedule section later in this article.

Queen / Lake Shore Boulevard West

• 507/501/301 Long Branch service will be replaced by buses due to construction at Long Branch Loop.
  • Two branches of the replacement bus service will operate:
    • 507 from Humber Loop to Long Branch Loop via Park Lawn.
    • 507M from Humber Loop to the Humber Bay Shores area looping via Marine Parade Drive.
  • This configuration will run until Labour Day weekend. In September, 507 streetcars will return as far as Kipling Loop, and the 110 Islington South will be extended west to Long Branch Loop.
• 508 Lake Shore streetcar service will be suspended for the summer season returning after Labour Day.
• Updated: 301L night buses will operate from Long Branch Loop to Dufferin Loop via Queen and Dufferin providing an overlap with the 301 Queen night car.
• See map in the schedule details later in this post.

World Cup Services and Support

On match days, service will operate as shown below.

During the June 7 schedule period, night services will operate as below.

Note that the 311 Bathurst night car will run north to St. Clair looping through St. Clair West Station. Buses will stop northbound at London Street outside of the station.

At Bloor Street, the night cars will stop on street both ways, but will not enter Bathurst Station.

Update: Not shown on the map below is the 301L night bus from Long Branch to Dufferin Loop via Queen.

Detailed Schedule Changes

Service frequencies are shown as “xx/yy” where “xx” is the headway until June 6, and “yy” is the headway from June 7 onward.

501 Queen

Updated: Service levels on 501 Queen are unchanged. All trips will end at Humber Loop due to construction work at Long Branch. Buses will run west from Humber Loop via The Queensway and Park Lawn. Service east of Park Lawn will be provided by the 507M bus (see 507 Long Branch below).

507 Long Branch / 501 Queen / 508 Lake Shore

Streetcar service west of Humber Loop is replaced by buses during construction at Long Branch Loop. 508 Lake Shore service is suspended for the summer.

Updated: Note that 301L night buses will operate from Long Branch to Dufferin bypassing Humber Loop via Park Lawn and The Queensway, then to Dufferin Loop via Queen.

In the detailed schedules, there is generally less time for a round trip on the 507 bus than the streetcar, but this is mainly achieved by trimming recovery time at terminals. Scheduled travel times are similar. This raises the question of whether streetcar recovery times will be similarly trimmed in the fall.

509 Harbourfront

509 Harbourfront service is substantially increased for added demand to Exhibition Loop, and to replace the 510 Spadina cars that will terminate at Queens Quay Loop.

Updated: Operator double step backs will be implemented at Union Station every day after 9am to “improve operational resiliency”. This change provides a relief break at Union for operators without the need to hold the streetcar.

511 Bathurst

Service on 511 Bathurst is improved during most periods due to added demand to Exhibition Loop.

Note that early morning service on Sundays will switch from the 307 Bathurst night bus to the 311 Bathurst night car running between Exhibition Loop and St. Clair West Station Loop.

Updated: Operator double step backs will be implemented at Bathurst Station every day after 9am to “improve operational resiliency”. This change provides a relief break at Union for operators without the need to hold the streetcar.

*Stops served by subway-bound streetcars will be temporarily out of service after matches to support optimized operations as increased customer volumes depart Toronto Stadium and FIFA Fan Festival™.
 
**On match days, all stops west of Fleet Hub are only in service for customers with accessibility needs.

Transit Priority

Various levels of transit priority have been added on several streets including some routes that do not serve the World Cup area, but where spillover traffic from other routes is expected.

Incident Response

Among the incident response categories are support for manual switches at sundry locations. This does not speak well of the TTC’s faith in its own track technology/condition. Also, some streetcar corridors will be monitored for power supply issues. It is clear that the TTC has not been keeping its power infrastructure at a level that can support additional service.
