Service details

The TTC makes Service Changes throughout the year, to adjust routes and schedules to better meet customer needs.

Service changes are made approximately every four to six weeks, or about 10 times a year, starting on these Sundays (some service changes are made on dates other than those shown):

Holiday Service Defined:

Holiday service is generally operated on Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Simcoe Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day and Boxing Day.

On these days, all TTC routes will operate on their Sunday service schedules, but will start earlier, at approximately 6 a.m. Any routes that do not normally operate on Sundays, will not operate on the holiday.

Sunday service is generally operated on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Service will be identical to that operated on a Sunday.

Subway service will start around 6 a.m. and will run every 4-5 minutes
