TTC Line 2 Service Restored After Morning Shutdown
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has announced that service on Line 2 is operational once again following a morning service interruption caused by a trespasser on the tracks. The incident prompted a 12-stop suspension during the busy Tuesday morning rush hour.
TTC Line 2 Shutdown Details
At approximately 7:23 a.m., the TTC communicated via Twitter that trains were not stopping between Keele and Broadview stations due to the situation at Bay Station. A temporary shuttle bus service was established to assist commuters during the disruption.
Resumption of Service
Service on Line 2 was restored at around 8:14 a.m. However, video footage captured at Broadview Station revealed a chaotic scene, with hundreds of patrons waiting in sub-zero temperatures to access shuttle buses.
Impact on Commuters
- Shutdown duration: Approximately 51 minutes.
- Number of affected stops: 12.
- Previous day’s disruption: Service suspensions due to a record-breaking snowstorm.
This marks the second consecutive day that TTC customers experienced service delays on the subway system. The agency continues to address issues to ensure passenger safety and reliable service throughout the network.
Conclusion
As the TTC works to recover from these disruptions, passengers are encouraged to stay informed through official channels. The restoration of Line 2 service allows commuters to resume their journeys after a challenging morning.
