The TTC has updated several bus routes to connect to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, as the long-awaited line continues its revenue service demonstration phase before its unknown opening date.
As of Oct. 12, the transit agency confirmed that several routes underwent the change to connect to the new line.
This change signals a new step forward to the opening of the line, which is now undergoing a 30-day revenue service test, which will see the trains operate as scheduled, according to the TTC.
There is still no opening date for the line, but riders will now have the ability to transfer at several of its stations before then.
