A raccoon caused a delay on the TTC Friday morning (PHOTO)

There was a delay on the TTC during rush hour on Friday morning, but the reason was too cute to get mad at.

Line 1 Yonge-University experienced a delay due to a raccoon making its way onto the subway tracks.

The news made its way to City Council’s meeting, where Coun. Janet Davis congratulated TTC staff for catching the raccoon this morning.

We always knew rolling out the new raccoon-resistant green bins would have consequences. Thanks to #TTC and City staff for helping this raccoon off the subway this morning. https://t.co/Q7KgZsNIoj

This isn’t the first time a raccoon made its way onto our transit system. And it probably won’t be the last.

Never forget. Subway Raccoon. #TTC #Toronto pic.twitter.com/TJ7GYohit8
