TTC adjusting select bus routes beginning October 12

October 08, 2025

Starting Sun., Oct. 12, the TTC is adjusting service on 12 bus routes and introducing two new routes in the first phase of extensive bus network changes associated with Line 5 Eglinton.

As the TTC and Metrolinx continue to work towards a safe and reliable opening for Line 5, the bus network changes are being introduced over time to allow customers time to familiarize themselves with adjusted routes and connections. Metrolinx will announce when the line is ready for service.

Although Line 5 stations remain closed, buses will stop outside or in station bus terminals to mimic future service.

The following routes will be adjusted, with minimal impact on most existing customer journeys.
