The TTC and the City of Toronto are considering adding dedicated bus and streetcar lanes on Bathurst Street in an attempt to ease congestion and improve transit services on the frequently gridlocked artery. These proposed "RapidTO" priority lanes would stretch approximately 7.5 km along Bathurst, from Eglinton Avenue West to Lake Shore Boulevard, according to the proposal. Priority bus lanes would be installed in the northbound and southbound curb lanes and streetcar lanes in the centre. We’re considering dedicated bus & streetcar lanes on Bathurst to ease congestion and improve TTC service. According to the city, buses and streetcars on Bathurst take a shocking 75 per cent longer than the average vehicle travel time.
