This weekend, navigating Toronto's public transport may require some additional planning due to major service adjustments on two GO train lines and a section of the TTC subway. With thousands expected to flock to the downtown area for various events—including Toronto Blue Jays games at the Rogers Centre, concerts featuring Weezer and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan at Scotiabank Arena, and performances by Shaboozey, Logic, and G-Eazy at the RBC Amphitheatre—commuters are advised to allow ample time for travel and to remain patient amid the closures.

Line 1 Closure

Subway service on Line 1 (Yonge-University) will be suspended between Finch and Sheppard-Yonge stations on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, due to planned signal work. The service suspension begins at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, September 25, and will continue until the end of service on Sunday, September 27. During this time, shuttle buses will replace subway service between the affected stations. It is important to note that all other subway stations will remain open for customers to purchase or load their PRESTO cards, PRESTO tickets, and connect to surface routes.

Lakeshore East Line Service Adjustments

There will be no GO Transit service on the Lakeshore East Line between Rouge Hill and Danforth GO on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, due to scheduled construction. GO trains will operate on an hourly schedule between Durham College Oshawa and Ajax, while GO buses will provide service between Ajax and Pickering GO, and then travel directly to Union Station. Additionally, late-night service adjustments are planned for Friday, September 25, which commuters should take into account.

Stouffville Line Service Adjustments

On the Stouffville Line, there will also be no GO train service on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, due to planned construction. Buses will replace the train service along the route. GO buses will make all stops from Old Elm to Unionville GO before proceeding directly to Union Station. It is important to note that there will be no GO service at Milliken, Agincourt, and Kennedy GO stations, and commuters are encouraged to explore TTC options for alternative transportation.

With numerous events scheduled across the city this weekend, including concerts and festivals, commuters are strongly advised to plan ahead, consider their travel options carefully, and allow extra time for their journeys. Staying informed on public transport schedules and potential delays will contribute to smoother travel experiences.
