O-Train Line 2 closures
Routes: 2 O-Train
Stations: Bayview, Carleton, Carling, Greenboro, Mooney’s Bay
Date effective: July 15, 2019
Line 2 will be fully closed for maintenance and construction from July 15–21. Line 2 will then reopen between Greenboro and Carling only. Replacement bus service R2 will provide service on the closed portions of Line 2. Service along the full length of Line 2 is scheduled to resume Monday, Aug. 19 (6 am).
Full closure
O-Train Line 2 will be temporarily replaced by R2 bus service from July 15 to July 21 for annual track maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. This work is required to maintain a safe and reliable service for customers. Line 2 train service between Carling and Greenboro Stations only is scheduled to resume at 6 a.m. on Monday, July 22.
Partial Service
Line 2 will run between Greenboro and Carling Stations only, from July 22 until August 18. Bayview Station will remain closed. This is required so that the Ontario Ministry of Transportation can do preparatory construction for their future Highway 417 overpass replacement. Full Line 2 service is scheduled to resume at 6 a.m. on Monday, August 19.
R2 Bus Service
Temporary R2 bus service will run every 15 minutes from each station. Signs at each station will show the way to the bus stops for R2 bus service. During the full closure, buses will run between Bayview and South Keys Stations. During partial service, R2 buses will run between Bayview and Carling Stations. Customers will connect between R2 buses and Line 2 trains at Carling Station.
Connections with R2 bus service at Bayview Station
Bus service at Bayview will be temporarily changed to make connections easier between Transitway bus service and the R2 replacement bus service. Starting on July 15, R2 buses will use Stop 2A, the eastbound Transitway stop on the south side of Albert Street. Also, all westbound Transitway routes will use the bus stop on Scott Street just west of Bayview Road, for a shorter walking connection to and from the R2 stop.
Trip Planning
In addition to R2 bus service, there may be other bus route options that work better for you. Use the Travel Planner to get your options.
