Scotiabank Caribbean Festival Shuttles (and other rare things)


Recommended Posts

Here in Toronto, the Scotiabank Caribbean Festival is being held. This is a major tourist attraction here in Toronto, and attracts a lot of people, especially from the USA (I saw many Coach USA buses while I was out fanning). For the Festival, the TTC operates five shuttles down to the Exhibition Place: one from Keele Station (operated by Queensway), one from Lansdowne (operated by Mount Dennis), increased service along route 29 Dufferin south of Bloor (operated by Wilson), increased service on the Bathurst Streetcar (Russell and Roncesvalles Carhouses, with bus service operated by Malvern, Eglinton and Birchmount), and a shuttle from Union Station, which supplements the 509 Harbourfront Bus (Operated by Wilson, Queensway, Arrow Road, Malvern, Eglinton and Birchmount). I fanned all of these shuttles expect for the Keele one, and here are my photos:

 

509 Harbourfront, 511 Bathurst and Union Station Shuttles:

Buses going to the Dufferin Gates. All photos were taken along Springhurst Avenue between Fort Rouille Street and Dufferin Street:

Those are some of my photos from Today's shuttles. Another thing that happens at the TTC when the Scotiabank Caribbean Festival is on is that it is the only day of the year where the Arrow Road Division dispatches the Nova RTS for weekend service. Around 7 were dispatched today. I caught bus 7245 on route 195 Jane Rocket:
