There two different TTC subway closures to navigate this weekend. The first, on Saturday, is promising to wreak some extra havoc. With 12 stations closed, shuttle buses operating slightly differently at each station, and a confusing mix of Line 1 and Line 2 stations being affected, it's a doozy.

How To Pay
If you’re paying with PRESTO during the subway closure just tap your card when you first board the TTC.
If you are transferring from the subway to a shuttle bus or from a shuttle bus to the subway don’t tap your PRESTO card again. Unlike normal subway to bus transfers, shuttle buses do not need a second tap.
Cash and token fares will still be accepted on the shuttle bus, which will get you a transfer onto the subway (and vice versa).
All normal service will resume on Sunday.
