Toronto Transit Disruptions: Plan Ahead This Weekend

0:00It's March 27, Canada news today starts now, AI powered and ready. I'm Corey with the story. Transit riders in Toronto face major disruptions this weekend on TTC Line 2, and GL Transit's Kitchener Line, due to essential maintenance work. Starting Saturday, subway service shuts down between Kipling and Jane stations for track upgrades, with shuttle buses stepping in. Then on Sunday, the closure shifts to between Jane and Ossington for signal improvements again replaced by shuttles. Meanwhile, GL Transit suspends all train service on the Kitchener Line from Bromelia Gio to Union Station from Saturday through the end of Sunday. Service thanks to critical track repairs. Replacing of buses will take riders from Bromelia Gio to Highway 407 bus terminal, where they can connect to TTC Line 1 to reach Union Station. These changes mean some stations like Running Mead, High Park, Lansdown, and Dufferin will close fully on Sunday, though others stay open for presto.

Gio trains won't stop at Blur, Mount Dennis, Weston, or Tobacov North during the outage, but regular Gio buses continue to malt and Gio. The TTC urges everyone to check alerts and build in extra travel time to avoid headaches. On a positive note, the TTC is ramping up service on Line 1 and other routes for Friday's Blue Jays home opener and Saturday's soccer matches at BMO, field with added staff to help crowds, full service resumes by 6am, Monday, just in time for the weekday commute.
