TTC major subway crowding (due to a whole rushour train becoming out of service)

it looked as if a whole rushour train went out of service & everyone had to get off sometime before i got to the station (by bus)

it took SIX train passes till i could fit on, even walked to the opposite end of the platform (yorkmills)

The TTC is the WORST!!!

@RoulinBrooks no... it's not...

Because the federal government is to cheap to give money to build more subway lines.

@BBCTTC5411 I talked to the operator at Davisville and he cursed/swore at me. He gave me the finger and said the word (actually a few words that shall not be mentioned). In the end, I was 1 hr and 45 min late.

@RoulinBrooks Well yeas, I can agree to that TTC do encounter problems, but it's still thee best. I was in a situation once. I was on the new tr train (5446) and it went past Davisville Station and cut power to the whole YUL line. Everyone got off and waited 30 min. The problem cleared and then 30 sec later, a problem occurs at Bloor with switches. Another train arrives at Davisville as NOT IN SERVICE with full rush hour load disembarking. The TTC only had a few shuttles all full passing.

@BBCTTC5411 Just yesterday there were switching problems on the TTC. This affected ALL subway lines for more than five hours. Major delays on every line. A day later it's still not fully fixed and the TTC staff haven't solved the problem. It's all in today's Globe and Mail. YOU do the research.

@RoulinBrooks Are you kidding me? IT IS THEEEE BEST. THE TOP 3 IN THE WORLD!!!! BETTER THAN NEW YORK'S TRANSIT SYSTEM. Think before you say or in this case, re-search before say.

Crowding will only get worse for the following reasons

-More people coming into the GTA and will use transit

-Toronto is very slow and very "political" in doing anything hence subway/rapid transit construction gets cancelled, or delayed.

-Too many people are travelling at one time. If we spread the passenger loads at all hours instead of peak hours, it would alleviate crowding.

@L0ND0NITE actually, it is, because it's the 6th train & certainly not common, nowhere does it say it's tokyo

@kn00tcn Great.. What do you want, a parade? Why name the video major subway crowding when the video is not representative.

@L0ND0NITE i wasnt even born in this country, not even the continent
