Monday morning commute made extra hellish as two TTC subway lines go down

Service on the TTC has now resumed, but this morning’s commute was no doubt a nightmare with lines one and two going down during peak service.

On twitter, commuters vented their frustrations and even relayed advice from drivers telling them they’d be better off to just walk.

At College, operator says on the PA system. “At this point it would be better for all of you to walk.” Never heard that before. #bikeTO #TTC

Step it up, #TTC ! Toronto is Canada’s biggest city and economic hub — everyday you fall short, our economy and job security suffers.

I hope you die #ttc because you’d be more useful as a distant memory than an actual service.

There should be a rule that says the #TTC isn’t allowed to shut down during exam season 😒

The worst part about being stuck on the subway in Toronto during a delay is looking up and seeing ads for #TTC merchandise.
