Want To Take The Streetcar Down Queen Street? Not THIS Summer.

The TTC has confirmed they will be replacing streetcars with bus service over the summer to work on upping future streetcar service.

According to The Toronto Star: 

The transit agency is removing streetcars from its iconic 501 Queen route from May until September because of multiple construction projects scheduled for this year, the Star has learned. The 501’s 43,000 daily riders will be put on buses instead.

Reactions seems to be pretty mixed..

This is.. not great. But maybe better than last summer when streetcars re-routed to King & messed up that street too https://t.co/tw4lN5KlAL
