You can transfer between streetcars operating along the 501 Queen route and subway trains operating along the 1 Yonge - University - Spadina line at King and St. Andrews Stations, instead of Queen and Osgoode Stations, while the streetcars are detouring.

The TTC is not operating buses to replace the streetcars. You’ll have to walk south to King Street or north to Dundas Street to board cars operating east and west through downtown Toronto.

The TTC continues to detour streetcars operating along the 301 Queen overnight and 501 Queen routes during another construction project on Queen Street East between Vancouver and Coxwell Avenues.

Due to that earlier project on the east-end of the line, the TTC has also replaced streetcars operating along the 502 Downtowner route with buses. Since the buses only operate as far west as Parliament Street, the TTC also added some short-turn streetcars between Russell Carhouse and McCaul Loop. (McCaul is the usual western terminal for the 502 cars.)

Starting Wednesday, June 20, the TTC started replacing the tracks on McCaul Street, so it extended the short-turn cars to operate further west along Queen Street West to Bathurst Street. The cars then proceeded northward along Bathurst Street to turn around through Wolseley Loop, just one block north of Queen West.

Now the Queen / Spadina construction requires the TTC to shorten the route for the short-turn cars, which now operate only as far west as York Street.

Mondays to Fridays from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., eastbound short-turn cars start their trips on York Street, south of Queen Street West, then proceed:

northward along York to Queen Street West,
resuming their regular route eastward along Queen West.

• in Wolseley Loop,
• on Bathurst Street at Queen Street West,
• on Queen Street West across from Denison Avenue, Augusta and Spadina Avenues, Peter, John and Duncan Streets and at University Avenue.

westward along Richmond Street West; and then
northward along York Street to Queen West,
ending their trips.
