Commuters on the TTC this morning were angry after the transit system suspended service on a portion of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth due to oil on the tracks.
On Thursday morning close to 6:30 a.m, the TTC said there would be no service between St. George and Broadview subway stations and had shuttle buses in place because of the oil spill.
Following the announcement, commuters were quick to express their frustrations with the transit system for being out of service at morning rush hour.
“Your service literally started half an hour ago,” one X user said.
“Well, you just messed up our morning by having your maintenance team spilling oil on the tracks, and now there is no service between Broadview & St George, and in the meantime, slow service, and held, to approach Broadview? Last night, u also had issues on line2 #TTCproblems #TTC,” another user said.
“How many times has this happened in 2024? Unbelievable,” another user commented.

Meanwhile, others were calling out the shuttle buses for not running efficiently.
“Shuttle buses are not running. Not one shuttle bus has come,” one X user said.
“Actually, I’ve been waiting on Bloor going west, it’s been 20 min and only one packed shuttle bus has passed. Worst service on earth,” another user said.
Around 7:30 a.m, the transit agency released an update revealing that the oil spill was the result of a mechanical lubricant that was applied to keep track joints flexible and service was paused to allow workers to clean it up.
The TTC says it will be investigating the incident. Subway service resumed around 8 a.m.
