Construction/Road Closures

TTC Changes During CNE

The TTC will implement additional service and temporary route adjustments to accommodate increased travel demand to and from Exhibition Place. Effective Friday, August 21, 2026, service will be increased on the following routes:

29 Dufferin bus
929 Dufferin Express bus
509 Harbourfront streetcar
511 Bathurst streetcar

In addition, a dedicated CNE Express shuttle bus will operate between Dufferin Station and Dufferin Gate Loop.

The following temporary route adjustments will also be in effect during the CNE:

504B King streetcars will divert via King Street West, Dufferin Street, Queen Street West, and Shaw Street before returning to their regular route.
510 Spadina streetcars will operate between Spadina Station and Queens Quay Loop and will not continue to Exhibition Place.
29 Dufferin and 929 Dufferin Express buses will turn back northbound from Dufferin Gate Loop.
329 Dufferin Night buses will be diverted and will serve Dufferin Gate Loop due to road closures associated with the CNE.

TTC stops at Manitoba Drive and Strachan Avenue will be out of service for the duration of the CNE.

As a result of increased attendance and enhanced transit service, stakeholders should anticipate higher pedestrian volumes and localized congestion around key access points to Exhibition Place, including Dufferin Gate, Princes' Gates, and Exhibition Loop, particularly in the evenings and on weekends.
