Downtown Express bus route changes Starting November 25, 2019, the TTC is making changes to its Downtown Express bus routes to help you move across the downtown core as quickly and efficiently as possible.

New routes starting in September and October 2018

The TTC has expanded its network of express buses, making it easier for you to move across the city – as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Starting in September and October, we’re introducing six new express routes and making improvements throughout the network.

These changes are part of a plan to address overcrowding on Line 1 and over 30 bus routes. Learn more about the fall 2018 capacity improvements.

Easy. Expanded. Express.

You can identify an Express Network route by looking for green route number "lozenges" on TTC stop markers, maps and signs throughout the city.

On stop markers, you’ll also find a badge indicating that a stop is served by an Express Network route.

New express routes:

902 Markham Rd Express (Sept. 2)

913 Progress Express (Sept. 2)

929 Dufferin Express (Oct. 7)

937 Islington Express (Sept. 2)

952 Lawrence West Express (Oct. 7)

989 Weston Express (Oct. 7)

In addition, starting September 2, service will be extended between Sheppard West Station and Weston Road on the 984 Sheppard West Express (replacing the 84E Sheppard West), and a new 985B Sheppard East Express branch operating between Don Mills Station and Meadowvale Road will be added during peak periods to the 985 Sheppard East Express (replaces 190 Scarborough Centre Rocket).

Starting October 7, the 939 Finch Express (formerly 199 Finch Rocket) will operate in the daytime on weekends between Finch Station and Finch West Station.
