Subway services on Toronto Transit Commission's Line 1 to be prematurely ended at select stations during the coming week.
Line 1 Yonge-University Shutdown: Here's the Scoop
Gear up for some disruptions on Line 1 (Yonge-University)! Over the next month, an 11-station stretch of this line will be subject to shutdowns, starting next week, as per the TTC's announcement.
Get ready for some late-night journeys to be cut short. From Monday to Thursday, the service between Sheppard-Yonge and College stations will pack up shop at 11 p.m., disrupting your usual travel routine.
But don't sweat it! Shuttle buses will step up to fill the void left by the trains, just like they've been drilled to do in situations like this. The fine print on the TTC's website confirms this arrangement.
While Lawrence and Summerhill stations will fall dormant during those hours, all other stations will remain operational for fares and surface connections. If you're in need of assistance, the TTC will deploy extra Wheel-Trans buses between the closed stations to lend a helping hand.
Mark your calendars, as this stretch will see more late-night closures from May 12 to May 16, May 20 to May 23, and May 26 to May 30. The party's not over yet! On Saturday, May 24, and Sunday, May 25, all stations in this stretch will take a day off, so plan accordingly.
