New Year, New Routes!
The final DING DANG DONG of 2025 is here, and it's packed with good news for Toronto transit riders heading into the new year.
What's Ending
Several detours are wrapping up just in time for 2026:
- Queen Street streetcars (501, 301, 503) return to their normal route near Broadview after water pipe work finishes
- 55 Warren Park bus goes back to regular streets after road construction
- 29C and 329 Dufferin buses resume their full routes past Exhibition Place
New Year's Eve Special Service
Heading downtown to celebrate? Here's what changes near the waterfront:
- The 19 Bay, 121, and 114 Queens Quay buses will take different routes
- The 511 Bathurst streetcar heads to Union Station via Queens Quay instead of Exhibition Place
- Express buses on Bathurst and Sherbourne will run to help you get from the waterfront back to subway stations after midnight
New Year's Day Note
The 29C and 329 buses will turn around early again on January 1st due to a fun run at Exhibition Place.
Have a safe and happy New Year, Toronto!
