The King Street Transit Pilot between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street is about putting people and transit first by improving transit reliability, speed, and capacity. King Street is the busiest surface transit route in the city, moving more than 65,000 riders on an average weekday. The pilot is changing how King Street works, by not allowing through movement at most intersections for private vehicles and providing priority to streetcars. Local access for vehicles will be maintained on a block by block basis. Use this map to determine how to best navigate where you need to go. For additional information please visit the project website: toronto.ca/kingstreetpilot Welcome to the King Street Transit Pilot TTC Streetcar Stops Streetcar stops have moved to the far side of intersection, with protected passenger waiting areas in the curb lane.
