New temporary accessibility service changes, on select routes
The TTC is progressing towards its goal of making all its stations accessible as part of its Easier Access Program. This includes the installation of elevators, accessible doors, and updated signage and wayfinding at all subway stations.
To ensure customers have accessible connections to the stations and areas around the stations where elevators are being installed at, the TTC will be temporarily adjusting service on some routes and introducing a new route, in the following ways:
-
149 Etobicoke-Bloor, new Line 2 Accessibility Shuttle
149 Etobicoke-Bloor buses will operate along Bloor Street West, between Kipling and High Park stations during normal subway hours, seven days a week. Service will operate every 25 to 30 minutes. Buses will stop at the existing 300 Bloor-Danforth night bus stops, as well as the following stations:
- High Park – buses will pick-up and drop-off in the bus terminal. Customers can transfer to 189 Stockyards for connection to Keele Station, which is accessible.
