TTC riders faced several service disruptions on Monday following a winter storm that dropped as much as 60 centimetres in Toronto.
The following stretches of the subway remain closed:
- Line 2: No service between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations. Shuttle buses are running.
Subways were not running on Line 1 between St. Clair West and Sheppard West stations, and between Eglinton and Bloor stations and on Line 2 between Kipling and Jane stations. Service has since resumed. Shuttle buses were running during the closures.
There are also several delays on bus and streetcar routes due to the weather conditions, with detours in effect along some lines. Click here for the latest TTC service alerts.
Elsewhere on the TTC, Line 6 Finch West is having ongoing issues due to the weather. The entire line was shut down at times with shuttle buses running along the route. Click here for the latest updates.
In a statement, TTC CEO Mandeep S. Lali said while the transit agency had extra crews, operators and staff “ready to keep our service running to the very best of our collective ability,” the winter storm was unprecedented.
He acknowledged the frustrations riders experienced amid the delays, especially those who had to wait for shuttle buses due to the subway shutdowns.
“I know that having to wait in those conditions is frustrating, but as shuttle buses need to be brought in from other parts of the City, delays were unavoidable,” Lali said.
“My commitment to those customers, and everyone who relies on the TTC no matter the conditions, is that as always we will learn from this event. Being a once-in-a-generation storm gives us a unique opportunity to analyze our performance, identify any gaps and develop plans that would reasonably address them in the event of something similar in future.”
Meanwhile, the TTC has cancelled Monday’s early nightly closure on Line 1 between Finch and Eglinton stations. The closure was for planned track work.
“This will allow the TTC to focus its resources on clean-up and restoring full service after this weekend’s major winter storm,” the TTC said in a release.
The nightly closure is scheduled to take place from Tuesday to Thursday at 11 p.m. Shuttle buses will stop at each station along the affected route.
