This week, TTC staff were busy plastering SRT station walls with giant posters to inform customers that the rapid transit line would cease operations on November 19.
At that time, on-street replacement buses will run southbound via Midland Avenue and northbound via Kennedy Road between Scarborough Centre and Kennedy stations. The TTC says the bus replacement plan is expected to deliver “frequent express bus service, with up to 70 buses per hour.” TTC spokesperson Stuart Green said signs informing customers of the change are now up at all stations and further steps will be taken to get the word out, including paid ads, social media posts, train wraps, and multilingual advertising.The 6.4 kilometre, six-station SRT opened in 1985 and the TTC says the trains in service are 10 years past their design life.
“To ensure the bus replacement service is safe, reliable, and effective, the TTC alongside the City of Toronto will construct on-street transit priority measures to support the frequent bus replacement service,”“The transit priority measures that have been approved by City Council include: dedicated red-painted bus lanes; transit signal priority; and adjustments to curbs, pavement markings, and turn restrictions at key locations.
