Weekend subway closures and service adjustments

Weekend bypass – Pape Station

This Sat., Sept. 21, and Sun., Sept. 22, trains on Line 2 Bloor-Danforth will not stop at Pape Station due to Ontario Line construction by Metrolinx. Bus service at Pape Station will be unaffected, and the station will remain open.

Shuttle buses will operate along Danforth Ave. between Broadview and Coxwell stations, connecting to Pape Station. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding locations.

Customers heading to Pape Station and requiring the use of an elevator can exit trains at Broadview, Chester, or Coxwell stations and speak to any TTC staff member for assistance, including Wheel-Trans service.

Saturday – no subway service between St Clair and York Mills stations

Bay and Sherbourne stations will be closed. All other subway stations will remain open for customers to load PRESTO cards, purchase PRESTO tickets, and connect to surface routes.

While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.

Reduced subway speed zones

The TTC is advising customers travelling on several portions of Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth of reduced speed zones, which may result in longer than normal travel times along certain sections of the subway.

As a safety precaution, the TTC reduces speed along sections of rail where maintenance is required, allowing trains to run safely during service hours while minimizing disruptions to customers. They also protect workers who may be required at track level to conduct routine or emergency inspections.

Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and consider the additional time they may need for their trips. A complete list of current reduced speed zones can be found on the TTC website at: https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service/Reduced-Speed-Zones.
