I completely agree that they could (and should), but this is Toronto after all.

So when do they plan to implement these new routes and change the name of Eglinton West Station to Cedarvale, for downsview station they changed the name to Shepard west 7 months before the extension opened

Good thing I was in North Vancouver last year to figure out that buses can indeed run in residential areas and routes with traffic calming. This route goes over six speed bumps without the world falling apart.
The TTC will make an excuse for everything.

I have rode a TTC bus that went over a speed bump before during a detour on a subway shuttle bus. The bus didn't break down.
I guess too many bumps and things would start to fall apart.

Cause they never planned for a parallel bus service until last year. People would have a long walk when the 34
They might as well bypass Aga Khan Park & Museum and Pharmacy too now.

Pharmacy is fine since its a major parallel bus corridor with a major bus route. Aga Khan though...

I'm curious if they plan to turn back some service at Science Centre Station. I remember reading somewhere they wanted headways around 15 minutes during peaks on the new 34, so it is possible they may have service be half-hourly east of Science Centre.

That can't be right.

Quoting from Steve Munro's piece on the 2022 ASP: "The TTC expects that the new route 34 will run every 15 to 20 minutes."

sounded like you were talking about the crosstown for a minute that makes more sense

The 97 YONGE bus at Lawrence Avenue (Lawrence Station), Monday-Friday. From link.
Providing service between the w-i-d-e stations on Line 1 between Eglinton Station and Sheppard Station. Pitiful.
Could we expect to see the same with the 34 EGLINTON when Line 5 opens?
- 97B Yonge to Queens Quay via Yonge Blvd
- 97F Yonge to Davisville Station via Yonge Blvd

Look at the ridership numbers first if to see if service can be reduce. From my experience of riding the 97, it is pitiful for service as well ridership to the point I been the only one on it and never seen more than 10 on it. Ridership maybe higher with better service, but these days lack of funds is stopping it..
One only has to look at Sheppard headway for the subway section to see Eglinton is going to get better headway than it.
I am expecting to see 15-20 minute headway for Hurontario bus service once the LRT is in service. No need to see the bus south of the Queensway as ridership is non existing and will be a waste of money.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were referring to the LRT.

There are 3 bus routes on MiWay's Hurontario, 2, 17, and 103. 10 minutes average headway. I'll expect the ridership to go up with the LRT.
Same with the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Expect the ridership to climb when it opens. The 34 Eglinton bus will be way less.

So those of us healthcare workers coming from Danforth via perhaps line 2 and the (current) 56 will have to take the 51 to Laird, Line 5 one stop, and 11 to Sunnybrook. Extra transfer no matter what. I suggested running some routes as 56 Sunnybrook buses. I guess there are too few of us.
