The TTC is getting into the Raptors game spirit.
Not only are there cancelled closures and bus diversions across multiple lines this evening and for upcoming games, but there’s also a familiar voice making public address announcements in TTC stations. Keep an ear out for announcements by Raptors in-area announcer, Herbie Kuhn, across all TTC subway stations.
The TTC has said that all early subway closures scheduled for both home and away game nights will be cancelled.
