10 minutes or better reaching more riders

Faster and more frequent service is gradually extending to 52 surface and subway routes with the next batch of improvements rolling out across the city on June 21.

TTC Chair Josh Colle and Deputy CEO Chris Upfold announced the progress of the Ten-Minute-or-Better Network at Bathurst Station on June 15.

“Over the coming months, we will have 52 routes that will operate 10-minutes-or-better across the entire city. Service on these routes will be more reliable for all of our riders from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. all day, every day,” Colle said.

The 10-minute-or-better service improvements are progressively being introduced in the May, June, September and October board periods. Full rollout of the network will be completed in 2016 when new buses and Operators are scheduled to be deployed.

The service enhancements are funded under the overall $90-million investment in transit that was approved in the 2015 City Budget.

“This gives our customers a turn-up-and-go service whereby they can have the assurance and confidence that they can walk to a stop and expect a bus or streetcar within a maximum of 10 minutes,” said Upfold.
