9 hourly cohorts meet the thresholds of 30 predictions and 5 service days. Hourly thresholds are assessed separately from the route-wide aggregate.
Improvement or decline requires comparable periods. This single result cannot establish a trend.

Values and interpretation
1% of back-to-back buses on this route arrived bunched together: 81 of 7,627 pairs checked at stops in the last 28 days. When buses bunch, the wait after them is usually longer.
1% of pairs (80) had a long gap: more than 1.75 times the planned wait between them.

Based on 56 computed days.
Source: the occupancy status in STO’s public real-time vehicle feed, which STO sets from each bus’s load sensor (seats available under 60% full, standing room under 90%, full above 90%).
Each trip counts once per time of day, at the highest load it reported.
Reports of an empty bus are left out, because older records could not tell an empty bus from one with no sensor.
A time of day needs at least 12 trips on at least 4 different days before anything is shown. Holidays are counted with their day of the week.
Open history, reliability and route analysis
Route check
How route 87 has been running
A short summary of what we know. We say so when we cannot answer a question.
Bottom line
Provider predictions were usually close to schedule in this dated sample.
Based on 10,545 eligible provider predictions over 17 measured days, from Oct 7, 2026 to Nov 4, 2026.
Updated Nov 5, 2026, 9:32 a.m.
Where and when did predictions differ repeatedly?
These are repeated prediction-to-timetable differences, not independently measured service failures. They use the same eligible predictions as the result above, but group by stop rather than hour, so the lists need not match line for line.
No repeated prediction-difference period has cleared the evidence threshold yet.
40 in 100 eligible predictions differed from the timetable by more than 5 minutes (161 predictions over 18 days).
Open this stop
These are route-specific provider predictions compared with the timetable. They identify repeated prediction differences at a place and time, not measured arrivals or their cause.

What riders want to know
Is any trip cancelled right now?
No trips start in the next 4 hoursChecks trips starting at route endpoints in the next 4 hours. This is not a historical cancellation rate.
Possible no-shows after checking feed gaps?
2 of 92 checked trips need a closer look2 of 92 trips with enough public-feed evidence had no matching position over 7 days. 23 of 115 scheduled trips were excluded because the feed record was incomplete. These are cases to investigate, not confirmed no-shows.
How did provider predictions differ from the timetable?
No route-level result meets the evidence threshold yet. This does not mean gaps did not happen.
Schedule change check
Published schedule: before and after
This compares the current retained official schedule with the prior retained version. Schedule changes are facts about what was planned. They do not prove that a trip ran.

Still collecting: before has 5,698 arrivals over 10 days; after has 835 arrivals over 2 days. No improvement or decline is claimed yet.
Checksums let anyone verify which retained timetable produced the counts. A changed count does not identify a cause, cancellation, operator decision, or passenger impact.
How this route is judged: Regular all-stop route
We compare the last eligible provider prediction for each scheduled arrival with the official schedule. These are not independently measured arrivals. A result needs at least 200 eligible predictions. Within 5 minutes is the rider-facing target used here.
What this data cannot prove
The public feed does not provide dependable passenger counts or passed-up-rider events. A missing position does not by itself prove a cancellation, no-show, short turn or cause.
See the definitions, thresholds and evidence order
Official current feed: explicit cancellations, skipped stops and active notices.
Matched observations: vehicle positions and settled predictions tied to the official schedule.
Official timetable: what was planned, kept separate from what was observed.
Rider and operator reports: leads about routes, times and places to investigate, not numeric proof by themselves.
Provisional results, published evidence
How did predictions compare with the timetable?
Each hour compares the last eligible provider prediction for a scheduled arrival with the timetable. “Within 5 minutes” describes that prediction difference, not a measured arrival or proof that a bus ran.
Evidence window: October 7, 2026 to November 4, 2026
No repeated pattern below 70% is yet established across at least three service days.
Scheduled bus, but not observed in realtime
90 / 115 scheduled trips published at least one position across 5 service days (78.3%).

This is not a confirmed no-show. A missing position can mean a cancelled or missed bus, but it can also mean an unassigned trip ID or an operator-feed gap. Otranspo publishes the gap because it matters to riders while keeping the conclusion honest.
Prediction check: the last eligible provider prediction no earlier than ten minutes before the scheduled arrival, counted once per trip, stop and scheduled Toronto calendar date. It is compared with the timetable, not an independently measured arrival. Trip-position check: the timetable kept before each service day, matched to recorded positions. Exact IDs are preferred; an OC timetable suffix is matched only to one trip on the same route and date with an overlapping time window. Missing timetables, ambiguous matches and feed gaps stay labelled; they are not confirmed no-shows. Sources and limitations.
