The St. Clair street car reno is finished now. You can take the 512 on the dedicated street car line from St. Clair Station to Keele.
When you combine the new texting alerts with the dedicated streetcar lane the service, you can really make it work for you. Travelling times can vary somewhat but at least they are relatively consistent. I timed it once from St. Clair Stn to Dufferin during a relatively busy time - it was 23 minutes. I'd guess its faster at night / less busy times. Again, in the winter assuming the times are consistent if a little slow it will be nice to have this line esp during rush hour. -

Right now, this venerable streetcar route is split in two - between St. Clair station and St. Clair West station the streetcar still runs, and west of St. Clair West station to Keele, it's a bus (at the time of writing, and for some time now). Service on both routes is frequent, frequently crowded, and has its ups and downs.
The major irritation is having to switch at St. Clair West station, particularly if there's one of the monumental rush hour lineups. I must be getting old and crabby, because I hate it when people butt in.
Still, I have to admit that the TCC has put a ton of buses on the western part of the route. You may not be able to get on the first one that comes by, but another will be along in a few minutes. I'm looking forward to the completion of construction and the restoration of our streetcar line, now traffic-free!
