The TTC Was A Cramped Mess This Morning Thanks To A Problem On Line 2 (PHOTOS)

Commuters on the TTC were more than a little grumpy this morning after signal issues caused widespread delays on Line 2.

The TTC tweeted at around 7:15 a.m. on Thursday that there would be no subway service between St. George and Victoria Park station as crews worked to fix the problem.

The delay caused crowds of morning riders to be left stranded outside St. George station waiting for shuttle buses, which must've been a complete drag considering today's high winds.

To make matters worse, an hour later the TTC announced that service had been shut down between Broadview and Victoria Park, causing even more crowding issues as people attempted to board overflowing shuttle buses.

"Walked from Greenwood to Pape station and saw only one shuttle bus pass in a 15min time crammed full of people," tweeted one disgruntled commuter.

"So. Omicron is spiking. What’s the plan on shuttle buses? More buses? Or crowding people together? Crowds are getting longer. No bus in sight," added another.

According to City News, the transit agency later revealed that the service delays were caused by a switch issue at Woodbine station.

Thankfully, crews were able to fix the issue and normal service resumed at around 8:40 a.m.

The TTC announced sweeping changes to its transit schedule last month to prepare for staffing shortages caused by the government's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The overhaul was expected at the time to cause significant delays on subway lines and streetcar/bus routes.
