Between April 30 and June 10, this extension operates from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, to correspond with Ontario Place's early-season hours. From June 11, the extension will operate from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m., seven days a week, to correspond with Ontario Place's later summer hours. Service will be operated every 15 minutes at most times of the week.

New express stops

  • Two new stops have been added to the westbound service of the 54E Lawrence East Express (Lawrence East Stn-Starspray Blvd) service, at Rushley Drive and Midland Avenue. The addition of these stops has increased the number of customers who are able to take advantage of the express service, and will thus reduce overcrowding on the local buses on the 54 and 54A branches. This change was made during February.

57 Midland  

Trip travel time increase

  • The north-end routing of the 57 Midland route was changed in January 2000 when the on-street loop at Midland and Steeles was closed and buses began to turn over a new on-street loop on Passmore, Silver Star, Steeles, and Midland. Since then, it has been found that an additional two to three minutes of round trip time are required so that the service can operate reliably. This time will be added to the schedules for June 2000.

131 Nugget

501-phase3

  • On the 504 King streetcar route, additional trip time will be added on King Street, between approximately 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., from Monday to Friday, to compensate for the additional traffic congestion which is expected as a result of the track construction on Queen Street.

  • Customers who normally use the streetcar stops on Queen Street will have to walk to King Street or Dundas Street, or to any of the intersecting north-south transit services. While one lane will be kept open for most road traffic on Queen Street through the construction site, this lane will be too narrow for buses.

  • These temporary route changes will last from June 11 until the middle of August.

80 Queensway
