Other changes across the network 

Metrolinx is also adjusting schedules to better reflect actual travel times and to improve connections. On most routes, the changes will mean that customers will depart up to 10 minutes earlier or later. On Route 52 (Oshawa/Vaughan), all weekend eastbound trips will depart 25 minutes earlier.  

Additionally, a reminder that service to Canada’s Wonderland and Toronto Zoo will soon end for the season. The last day of service to these locations will be Aug. 25.
