The TTC Is Closing 8 Subway Stations This Weekend So Say Goodbye To Convenience

If you're going to be using public transit over the weekend, you may be affected by scheduled TTC closures.

On Thursday, the transit agency announced that there would be no subway service on Line 1 between Finch and St Clair stations on Saturday, March 5, and Sunday, March 6.

Eight stations will not have service for Automatic Train Control signal system installation, the TTC said.

Anyone looking to travel between Finch and St Clair will be asked to take a shuttle bus.

The closures will primarily only affect travel services, as most stations will remain open to customers, with a few exceptions.

"North York Centre Station will be closed. All other stations will remain open for people to load their PRESTO card or purchase PRESTO Tickets and connect to surface routes," the TTC said.

"At Sheppard-Yonge Station, the automatic entrances at Yonge Street and Poyntz Avenue and at Yonge Street and Anndale Drive will be closed. Customers are advised to use other station entrances," it added.

The TTC had previously announced it would be shutting down the same chunk of Line 1 around this time in February.

The agency shut down service between Finch and St Clair stations on February 5 and 6 for ATC signal system installation.

Like the current situation, North York Centre Station was the only one to fully close during the service disruption.

If you're planning on taking the TTC this weekend, make sure to plan your trip ahead of time.
