Subway wait times on the TTC Bloor-Danforth and Yonge-University lines have changed.

As of Monday, wait times on the Bloor-Danforth line between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. will be reduced from seven minutes to five minutes. After 10 p.m., wait times on the Bloor-Danforth line will be reduced from eight minutes to six minutes.
