The TTC is changing how long you'll have to wait for the subway at night
Wait times for subways on the TTC’s Bloor-Danforth Line and Yonge-University line have changed.
As of Monday, evening wait times between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. for the Bloor-Danforth Line will be reduced from seven minutes to five minutes. After 10 p.m., wait times for the Bloor-Danforth line will decrease from eight minutes to six minutes.
The Yonge-University line wait times from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. will be reduced by one minute to five minutes, and from 10 p.m. on will be reduced by two minutes to five minutes.
According to TTC spokesperson Stuart Green, subway service was often meeting these standards prior to the change using spare operators and trains. Now, they’ve been built into the operating scheduling, making them official, he told CTV News Toronto.
