A raccoon caused a TTC delay earlier today
There was a slight delay on the TTC Tuesday afternoon, but the reason was too cute to get upset over.
Line 1 northbound from Eglinton to Finch experienced a delay due to a curious trash panda making its way onto the subway tracks.

Just after 1:30 pm, the TTC tweeted that delays of up to 15 minutes could be expected due to the raccoon walking at track level.
And just after 2 pm, TTC staff said the raccoon was clear from the tracks and regular service had resumed.

And while this isn’t the first time Toronto’s unofficial mascot has had a run in with the TTC, it seems like commuters weren’t too upset over today’s minor delay.
poor guy just got fed up with the waiting and decided to walk it instead

TTC protocol for cute animals at track level should include posting a picture

Authorized or unauthorized raccoon? Is proper safety equipment in use?
