Scarborough Busway Set to Open September 30th
A new dedicated transit corridor, the Scarborough busway, will begin service on September 30th, replacing the former Line 3 train route. The TTC confirmed the opening date, noting the busway will span four kilometers and connect Kennedy Station to Scarborough Town Centre via Ellesmere Road.
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has announced that the Scarborough busway will officially open on September 30th. This new transit corridor is designed to replace the service previously provided by the defunct Line 3 train. The busway will cover a four-kilometer stretch of the former Line 3 route, commencing at Kennedy Station. Key stops along the route include Tara Avenue and Mooregate Avenue, followed by Lawrence E. Station and Ellesmere Station. From Ellesmere Station, buses will transition to dedicated infrastructure on Ellesmere Road to reach Scarborough Town Centre. The TTC anticipates that multiple bus routes will utilize this new corridor. Mayor Olivia Chow stated that the busway is expected to significantly reduce commute times for approximately 120,000 weekly riders, saving them over an hour each week. She had previously indicated a September opening for the project.
