The 300A Bloor-Danforth route provides overnight bus services to Pearson Airport
The 300 Bloor-Danforth route was originally designated as the 10 Bloor-Danforth route when it was launched in 1966. At the time, it operated whenever the Bloor and Danforth streetcars did not run during overnight hours. The route was rebranded as the 300 Bloor-Danforth in 1987 as part of the Blue Night Network. The Blue Night Network provides overnight bus services on most major routes across Toronto, with buses running approximately every 30 minutes.
In 2004, service to the new Pearson Airport Terminal 1 began. However, service to Terminal 2 was discontinued in 2007. Due to overcrowding, the service was adjusted, and buses now serve Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. The 300A Bloor-Danforth route provides service to Pearson Airport every six to seven minutes during busy periods and every 15 minutes at other times. This route also offers accessible service using low-floor buses.
The 300 Bloor-Danforth route has undergone several revisions over the years. In 1991, the looping at the western terminus was revised to operate via Bloor, West Mall, Burnhamthorpe, and East Mall back to Bloor. In 2002, with the closing of the Danforth garage, buses began to be shared with Birchmount and the newly opened Eglinton (Comstock) Divisions. In 2021, the route was no longer operated by eight of the nine bus divisions due to changes in route operations. However, it is scheduled to use articulated buses on some runs daily starting in 2025.
