TTC to shut down key stretch of subway this weekend without shuttle bus service

TTC closures this weekend could throw added complications into your weekend commute, so here's everything you'll need to know to navigate the upcoming disruption planned on a key stretch of subway.

The transit agency has announced a shutdown on Line 1 Yonge-University between St George and St Andrew stations on Saturday, Nov. 8, and Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, and there won't even be shuttle buses to move crowds through the closed stretch of track.

It's just the latest in a string of 38 overlapping weekend closures announced by the TTC at the start of 2025, with the upcoming outage attributed to "planned station work."

A notice from the transit agency explains that "While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the end of service each night, it continues to require early weeknight and weekend closures to complete state-of-good-repair work."

As with previous outages along this stretch, the TTC has opted not to run shuttle buses in place of subway trains, and is instead advising riders of alternate routes.

For those caught off guard by the outage, the TTC will be adding staff at stations to assist passengers in finding their way.

Museum, Queen's Park, St Patrick and Osgoode stations will remain closed throughout the outage, while St George and St Andrew will both be open for commuters to purchase/load fares and connect with surface routes.
