One of the largest passenger backups is occurring this afternoon on the Bloor subway between Keele and St. George stations because of what was first called “a bit of mud and water” on the tracks. amazingly, TTC officials said they had no idea how it got there. This down under the street in a place not accessible to the public. The line was shut down with “no expected clearing time” stated. Several stations were reopened by 9:30 a.m., though service was still suspended between Keele and Ossington stations. TTC spokesperson Jessica Martin said a subway operator reported debris on the tracks at Dundas West station, leading transit control to cut power and send investigators to the scene. Investigators found “a bit of mud and water” on the tracks, Twitter is crammed with complaints about what seems like a piddling reason to stop the trains but also with beefing, as always occur, of so-called shuttle buses that was unable to deal with the crowds. More like scuttle butt buses.
