Metrolinx is apologizing after the filming of a movie caused the temporary closure of the GO bus terminal at Union Station Wednesday night.
The terminal was closed for about an hour-and-a-half for the filming of Suicide Squad, which stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto.
GO said the problem was an unplanned road closure just south of the terminal.
Metrolinx said the closure was only supposed to affect Harbour Street, but the film crew ended up shutting down roads it wasn’t supposed to.
Mayor John Tory took to Twitter to call the closure “improper.”
The terminal was shut down around 9:30 p.m. and reopened shortly before 11:30 p.m.
The closure affected Hamilton, Milton, Richmond Hill and Newmarket buses, among others.
