How are these service adjustments related to the closure of Line 3 Scarborough?
Line 3 Scarborough will be replaced by an interim express bus service operating southbound via Midland Avenue and northbound via Kennedy Road between Scarborough Centre and Kennedy Stations until the opening of the Scarborough Subway Extension in 2030.
Construction is required to update the Scarborough Centre Station bus terminal to accommodate the increased number of buses that will serve the station. The service changes to 9 Bellamy, 21 Brimley, 134 Progress, 913 Progress Express and 985 Sheppard East Express are required to accommodate this construction.
