The Customer Service Centre at 1900 Yonge Street, above Davisville station has reopened with modified hours of operation. We strongly suggest that customers wear a face covering or mask if visiting the office.

Please note that this is today’s list and it may fluctuate throughout the day and on other days going forward.

In addition to this list, we have supervisors assigned to key positions throughout the system to direct additional buses to where they are needed most on high ridership routes. Transit Control also had additional staff working to ensure we are responsive and active in our management of service throughout the system.

We encourage customers to delay delaying any trips until after 8 a.m. whenever possible.

In order to reduce customer volume and allow for better physical distancing, we are re-deploying additional buses on higher volume routes where they are needed most for early AM peak service, using available resources.

Visit our Riding the TTC during the COVID-19 pandemic page to learn all you need to know about travelling on the TTC at this time.

This will be addressed at the beginning of May when we make our regular scheduled changes to some of our service.

If the operator signs on with the local service instead, Transit Control is unable to track the bus on the system.

The destination signs are tied to the route/run the operator signs on with.

This is a technical consequence of unscheduled service adjustments as we continue to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

These buses are supplementing local service and will serve all stops.

You may continue to see buses operating with express route numbers on the destination sign.

Express service is currently suspended on most routes, except for the 900 Airport Express and 927 Highway 27 Express.

Starting today, customers will see thick vinyl collapsible barriers on our buses. They provide extra comfort and security for our operators while being removable to allow for accessible front door boarding/exiting for customers with accessibility needs. Thank you for your ongoing support and patience during this time.

By the end of this week black hand sanitizer dispensers will be available at the main entrance of all subway stations, inside the paid area. The dispensers have already been installed at stations on Line 1 and Line 4. They will be installed at all Line 2 stations by later today and at all stations on Line 3 by the end of the week. The dispensers will be inspected throughout the day to ensure they are available for people to use. Dispensers will also be installed at secondary entrances in mid-May.

The TTC has begun to block off seats on its buses, streetcars and subways to allow customers to continue to practice safe physical distancing while travelling on the TTC. You may notice caution tape placed over seats, more formal seat coverings and notices will be installed over the coming days.

Bus operators have begun to receive multi-use disposable masks to wear during their shifts, if they choose to. These masks, which are washable up to three times, are being provided in addition to their gloves and hand sanitizer they began receiving a few weeks ago. The masks bus operators are receiving now are an interim solution, while the TTC begins to manufacture and distribute reusable cloth masks over the next two to three weeks. All operators will be supplied with additional masks in a phased approach as supply increases. Currently the TTC has 15,000 masks, with another 10,000 expected to arrive today. Another 75,000 masks will be coming over the next three weeks.
