509 Harbourfront

The TTC is improving service along the route during most time periods, except overnight, to replace route 510 *Spadina service along Queens Quay West to and from Union Station. And, since more people travel to and from the Central Waterfront during summer, it’s further increasing the frequency of service along the route.

Starting Sunday, June 23, streetcars drop off or pick up passengers at stops:

• every 10 minutes, instead of every 15 minutes, Sundays and holidays before about 8 a.m.;
• every 7½ minutes, instead of every 8 minutes 45 seconds, from about 8 a.m. until noon;
• every 5 minutes, instead of every 8 minutes 15 seconds from about noon until 7 p.m.;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 9 minutes 15 seconds, from about 7 until 10 p.m.; and
• every 8 minutes, instead of every 10 minutes, after about 10 p.m.

Starting Monday, June 24, cars serve passengers at stops:

• every 6 minutes, instead of every 7 minutes 15 seconds, Mondays to Fridays during morning rush hours;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 9½ minutes, from about 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.;
• every 6 minutes, instead of every 9½ minutes, during afternoon rush hours;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 9 minutes 15 seconds, from about 7 until 10 p.m.; and
• every 8 minutes, instead of every 10 minutes, after about 10 p.m.

Starting Saturday, June 29, cars serve passengers:

• every 7 minutes, instead of every 9 minutes 15 seconds, Saturdays from about 8 a.m. until noon;
• every 4 minutes, instead of every 8 minutes 15 seconds, from about noon until 7 p.m.;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 9 minutes 15 seconds, from about 7 until 10 p.m.; and
• every 8 minutes, instead of every 10 minutes, after about 10 p.m.

Although the TTC is increasing the frequency for cars along the entire 509 Harbourfront route, service is actually less frequent between Lower Spadina Avenue and Union Station than it was when cars along both routes 509 and 510 operated there.

For example, starting Sunday, June 23, streetcars in that area drop off or pick up passengers at stops:

• every 10 minutes, instead of every 7½ minutes, Sundays and holidays before about 8 a.m.;
• every 7½ minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 35 seconds, from about 8 a.m. until noon;
• every 5 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 17 seconds from about noon until 7 p.m.;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 3 minutes 44 seconds, from about 7 until 10 p.m.; and
• every 8 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 53 seconds, after about 10 p.m.

Starting Monday, June 24, cars serve passengers at stops:

• every 6 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 10 seconds, Mondays to Fridays during morning rush hours;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 53 seconds, from about 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.;
• every 6 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 53 seconds, during afternoon rush hours;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 48 seconds, from about 7 until 10 p.m.; and
• every 8 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 53 seconds, after about 10 p.m.

Starting Saturday, June 29, cars serve passengers:

• every 8½ minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 49 seconds, Saturdays before about 8 a.m.
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 25 seconds, from about 8 a.m. until noon;
• every 7 minutes, instead of every 3 minutes 21 seconds, from about 7 until 10 p.m.; and
• every 8 minutes, instead of every 4 minutes 53 seconds, after about 10 p.m.
