Late-night service every 30 minutes from 7:00 p.m. until the end of service has been added to lines 3 (Cannon), 4 (Bayfront), the number 10 B-line express, 16 (Ancaster), 22 (Upper Ottawa), 23 (Upper Gage), 24 (Upper Sherman), 25 (Upper Wentworth), 26 (Upper Wellington), 27 (Upper James), 34 (Upper Paradise), 41 (Mohawk), 43 (Stone Church) and 51 (University).
