The TTC is about to implement some service changes. And good news! They're mostly improvements! Steve Munro has all the deets.

Major shifts:
- The Bloor--Danforth subway will now run more frequently on weekdays during the midday and early evening periods.
- The routes serving York University and Humber Lakeshore all see service improvements during peak hours.
- The 36 Finch West is gaining a whole whack of busses at all hours.
- Several route running times have been extended in response to traffic patterns, road construction, etc. (In some cases, busses have been added to fill the gap--but not every route will see relief, so check the chart.)

These changes go into effect on March 25th.

Readers' guide:

Headway
Headway is the theoretical distance, in time, between vehicles on the route. If the route takes 20 minutes to run, and has two buses assigned to it, then--in theory--every stop along the route should see one bus every 10 minutes, which is a 10-minute headway. If only one bus served the 20-minute route, you would have a 20-minute headway; if four buses served it, you would have a 5-minute headway; etc.

Vehicles
"Add" is the vehicles being added to the route.
"Remove" is the vehicles being removed from the route.
What, seriously? Do I have to dress you in the mornings, too? Gosh.

Absolutely NOWHERE there does it say "Free Candy". I still hate the TTC.
