RapidTO: Surface Transit Network Plan
What’s New
Two new RapidTO studies are underway:
- Dufferin Street from Eglinton Avenue West to Dufferin Gate Loop, and
- Bathurst Street from Eglinton Avenue West to Lake Shore Boulevard West
These routes were identified as important for the successful movement of people during the upcoming FIFA 2026 World Cup and are following an accelerated study timeline. Public consultation is taking place now and seeks feedback on the proposed design.

In February 2024, City Council endorsed the RapidTO: Surface Transit Network Plan (2024.EX11.8). RapidTO aims to create a comprehensive network of surface transit priority corridors along arterial roads through the use of tools such as reserved lanes and intersection and signal improvements to prioritize public transit in the City’s road network. The plan identifies 20 priority roadways, each subject to further feasibility analysis to determine the suitable surface transit priority measure and design option.

- Eglinton Avenue East/Kingston Road/Morningside Avenue from Kennedy Subway Station to the University of Toronto, Scarborough.
- Queens Quay East Interim Bus Priority Lanes.
- Jane Street from Eglinton Avenue to Steeles Avenue.
- Dufferin Street from Eglinton Avenue West to Dufferin Gate Loop
- Bathurst Street from Eglinton Avenue West to Lake Shore Boulevard West
The transit priority bus lanes are sections of the street designated by regulatory signs and pavement markings for use by public transit, bikes may also use them. The bus lanes also have regulatory “No Stopping” signs placed along each roadway. Other vehicles are not allowed to stop or wait in the priority bus lanes.
Drivers should be aware and always look for people on bikes, buses and pedestrians when travelling along or moving into priority bus lanes to make turns. People on bikes and pedestrians should also be aware and look out for buses and cars.
If you drive or cycle, learn how to use RapidTO bus lanes with this guide from the City of Toronto.
