FAQs

Will the TTC run on time during DST changes?

Schedules adjust automatically—trains and buses skip or repeat that hour, so check the TTC app for live updates.

Do Blue Jays game times shift with DST?

Game start times stay fixed, but extra daylight under EDT means more sun-lit innings early in the season.

How do festival schedules adapt?

Events like Nuit Blanche use EDT’s extended evenings—always confirm timing with the official site.
