The King streetcar route has been split into two for the first weekend of the Toronto International Film Festival.

TIFF festivities have closed part of King Street West for a second straight year. As a result, the TTC is not servicing any streetcar or bus stops between University and Spadina Avenues from Sept. 8-11.

Instead, there are eastern and western loops for the streetcars. Rush-hour buses that serve the route are diverting around the festival closures.

Here's how the closure will affect your routes this weekend, according to the TTC:

504 King streetcar
