Ontario Line Construction:
Pape Station Bus Terminal Closure
| |
|
As of May 12, until fall 2024, the bus terminal at Pape Station will be closed due to construction by Metrolinx. Metrolinx is building a new underground station that will connect the Ontario Line to Line 2 Bloor-Danforth.
Line 2 subway access at Pape Station will be maintained throughout the construction period, although there may be intermittent disruptions to service to accommodate tunnel work. The TTC will ensure that customers are informed in advance of any service changes and will make every effort to minimize the impact on riders. For more information, please visit our website.

Subway Operators may be asked by Transit Control to reduce their speed through a certain area of the subway system as a safety precaution due to crews at track level or ongoing maintenance being performed on the tracks. These Reduced Speed Zones will mean that the train will travel slower than normal in the affected area.
Visit our website for the current list of reduced speed zones.
