Streetcar Service Changes

There is currently one service change on this route.

Effective: 4 am, November 10, 2024

501/301 Queen streetcars will begin using new streetcar tracks on Adelaide, Richmond and York streets, starting November 10, as part of a route change that will end the need for 501B/301B Queen replacement buses and improve service along this route.

The new tracks also create additional streetcar diversion options in the downtown core for unplanned service changes, events such as the Toronto International Film Festival, and planned streetcar infrastructure work.

New 501/301 Queen route change:

501/301 Queen streetcars will continue to divert around the Ontario Line construction between Queen and Victoria streets, but will now travel:

Westbound: via Queen Street East, south on Church Street, west on Richmond Street East and West, north on York Street, to route.

Eastbound: via Queen Street West, south on York Street, east on Adelaide Street East and West, north on Church Street, to route.

This diversion provides customers with an uninterrupted streetcar connection to both sides of Line 1 at Osgoode and Queen stations, as well as King Station and across the downtown core. 

Streetcars will resume their regular routes as early as Monday, January 20, as construction on the overhead streetcar wires at Fleet and Bathurst street ends. 509 Harbourfront streetcars will operate between Union Station and Exhibition Loop, while 511 Bathurst streetcars will operate between Bathurst Station and Exhibition Loop. The replacement bus service will end once streetcar service resumes. Thank you for your patience.
